      <title>Afro Beta Sessions: The Roy Ayers Edition</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[This is a mix of various vibes from the cosmic soul brother Roy Ayers. As one of the leaders of musical Pan-Africanism, his cultural influence is unsurpassed in pushing forward the concept of Red, Black and Green being the colors of the ongoing liberation movement.

This mix filled with remixes, originals, and other vibes that keep his culturally legacy moving forward. So turn on, tune in, and catch a dose. Everybody loves the sunshine…



Red, Black, and Green [Original]

Holiday [DJ Spinna]

Funk In The Hole [Platinum Pied Pipers]

Searching [Osunlade]

      <title>NATIVES presents... Afro Beta's &quot;Strongest Vibes&quot; Collection</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[So this is a 2 hour Afro Beta dedication set I did on Middle East Coast Mecca (Sunday nights 11p-1a est) the night after the last Afro Beta event at The Nile in RVA. It was an emotional night so I wanted to do a set that captured some of the tracks I played the most over the 5 years of Afro Beta sessions. The first hour is an afrobeat session and the second hour has some deep fro house grooves from the crates of the mind. Check it deeply and enjoy. The Energy never dies.....

      <title>&quot;Middle East Coast Mecca&quot; Afro Beta Sessions Vol.3</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[This another session of deep house, international beats, and wide open summer jams that are influenced by the monthly AudioMassTransit event Afro Beta that we throw here in Richmond, VA every First Saturday. It was recorded live on my weekly show "Middle East Coast Mecca" which airs on Sunday night on WRIR.org from 1-3AM EST. Much like the AB event, this mix spans African, Latin, Middle Eastern and Jazz elements among other sounds and is heavy on native rhythms. Unfortunately it's impossible to completely capture the raw energy and live drums of a live Afro Beta Session but this series of mixes is the closest you'll get. Open up the windows, crank up the volume, and enjoy.....

Cross My Mind - Jill Scott

Amazon - White Label

Drums of Benirras - Copyright, Shovell

Soulflower Sax - Matthias Heilebronn

Our Time Is Coming - Masters At Work, Roy Ayers

Whohadrums - Chocolate Puma

Return of the Coconut Groove - Trio Eletrico

Sentir el Calor - J &amp; M Brothers

No Pares - Sullee, Isabel Fructuoso
