Benn Loxo du Taccu is one of the first music / mp3 blogs I discovered a couple of years ago. Matt is the African music expert of the blogosphere. He was living in Senegal when I first started reading and has since moved to Paris.

So Matt had a great Seychelles related post today, with a couple of old classic tunes from the island country. As I mention from time to time, my beautiful wife lived there from the age of 3 until that fateful New Year’s Eve 2001 when she was visiting her mom here in Arizona, and we went out on our first date. Yep, she couldn’t resist me. hehe.

So definitely check out Matt’s post for a nice story and a couple of great tunes. And I’ll throw some contemporary Seychellois music your way with a couple by Brian Matombe.
