We’re back for year five 🖐️ and settling into what we do best: records played front to back, in good company, with time and space to actually listen.

Each night begins with a short, relaxing guided meditation to bring the room together. Then we drink tea, snack a little, listen to a full album uninterrupted, and hang afterward to talk about what we just heard—no pressure, no right answers.

Week 4:

Florence Adooni “A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity)"

Florence Adooni — A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity) is a radiant debut that reimagines Ghana’s highlife tradition through a modern, Afro-futuristic lens. Rooted in the rich musical heritage of Fra Fra culture and propelled by lush, cosmic production from Max Weissenfeldt, this seven-track album fuses syncopated highlife rhythms, spiritual jazz flourishes, funk-infused grooves, and Adooni’s luminous, expressive vocals into a cohesive, adventurous whole. From the warm, horn-accented “Mam Pe’ela Su’ure” to the hypnotic energy of “Vocalize My Luv” and the sprawling, meditative title-track odyssey, A.O.E.I.U. celebrates community, continuity, and sonic exploration — an extraordinary exercise in unity that bridges past and present while pointing boldly toward the future of West African music.
