Episode description
In 1979 Convoy Jack Lafarge, legendary roadie for psychedelic San Francisco bands of the 1960s, found himself driving the bus for Bob Marley's 1979 tour of Africa. After the Wailers' final show in Addis Ababa, Marley insisted on recording an all-star synth-pop album in a mysterious studio he'd heard about: Kagnew Station.
