The BizzleCast 187: Eric Herman of MODIBA in a glorious return with music hotness AND hockey.

Ladies and gentleman of the BizzleCast, I am SO thrilled to have one of my closest friends, long time partner in the world music biz, and all around smart and super cool dude ERIC HERMAN back on the podcast. Not too much politics this time around (although we do actually bring a message of hope to y’all despite all the crappiness!), but we are talking HOCKEY — yes, hockey — with this Happy Canadian, before launching into a rapid fire Modiba update, highlighting Modiba veteran BOMBINO — he of the Sultan of Swing from the Sahel — as well as up and comers Ladama. And just as an extra treat, I got so FIERY clips of both artists for you wonderful people, as well as a tease of other Modiba projects around the bend and a future, more in-depth podcasts about the ups and downs (sadly mostly downs) of the current state of immigration and the global music industry in 2018, even as more and more insane talents pop up all over the world. This is a fun and, given my track record, fairly concise podcast. And again — HOCKEY. How can you resits Hockey AND guitar shredding from West Africa. Enjoy my people!
