Traditional African music has grown in popularity rapidly over the last decade. Unlocking the inspiring and healing qualities of African rhythms and melodies (both ancient and new) from the Mother continent as well as the diaspora, is a job still in its infancy. Yet a greater challenge perhaps, remains not just the locating and preserving of the old songs and chants, but significantly finding ways of informing the hearts, minds and technologies of the 21st century with the spirituality and timeless wisdom of the older musics. African music doesn&amp;rsquo;t simply belong in a museum or on the shelves of the Smithsonian Institute. It dwells on the streets and in the temples, churches and clubs of the diaspora of which we are all part - whether observers or participants. The MOOD AFRICA&amp;copy; series seeks to advance just such an agenda. Listen to how the uplifting creativity plays out here on LOTUS BLOSSOM.&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
