Sia Tolno escaped war-torn Sierra Leone to become a popular singer in Guinea. As her career blossomed, she shifted to Afrobeat, with deep grooves and strong political messages. But festivals and her record company discouraged her new, big band direction, and she set out on her own. That’s when Sia met American guitarist/bandleader Aaron Feder, leader of Alma Afrobeat Ensemble out of Barcelona. When Aaron set upon the idea of creating a collective of musicians to interpret Grateful Dead songs in African styles, Sia was intrigued, and the rest is history... This podcast tells the long, strange story of Sia Tolno and the Afro-Dead Collective. Produced by Banning Eyre.
