Prepping for this week’s trip to Europe & needed a little “Wayfaring & Wanderlust” music to keep my head in the game. Click play & join my BGFly jam session!

10 Hip-Hop artists from unexpected communities. Giving voice to the voiceless or just celebrating life from the artist’s cultural perspective, all have a great sound & are worth a listen.

I’ve been vibing all day to 5 great songs written by African artists, sharing good thoughts about their motherland. Listen with me.

It’s Independence Day! Here’s a little mood music — songs celebrating the great towns of America — to get you jazzed while you’re prepping for today’s barbecues, beach outings and family time. Happy Listening!

When can I get the (&$@+)($&+@$&+@$& out of here and start adventuring again.  The stagnation is killing me! Here’s the playlist helping me pull in together. Listen with me.

My annual pilgrimage out West is long overdue and those Pacific blues are yanking vigorously on my heart strings. A few hours and wheels go up. Here’s Jose Feliciano bringing some serious Boricua soul to California Dreamin’.

For someone like me who’s been obsessed with the window seat for as long as I can remember, I was excited to hear Erykah Badu’s ode to wanderlust, escapism and return. Indulge me as I muse about her “Window Seat” lyrics and what they say to my traveler’s soul.

In honor of Women’s History month, we’ve been “vibing” to songs highlighting women’s collective strength, courage and wisdom. Have a listen and enjoy the sounds of Indie Arie, Christina Aguilera, Queen Latifah, Tina Turner and other soulful women who’ve faced and overcome great challenges.

“I’m Like A Bird. I’ll only fly away. I don’t know where my soul is. I don’t know where my home is.” (Nelly Furtado) Though she is lamenting her relationship status and not an unfulfilled desire to vacation in the Azores, Nelly Furtado hit on a universal theme — the need to escape.

An eclectic mix of musical eras, genres and styles — all touting that irresistible impulse to travel, wander & escape.
