In this bonus episode, I chat with Daniel Kumapayi about his upbringing as a double bassist, his experience studying at the University of Michigan, and the founding of the Pan Africanist art music foundation, Àkójọpọ̀. Make sure you check out the amazing resources on their website and follow their social media to stay up to date on their projects!

Quick correction: at 10:47, we meant to mention San Fransisco Symphony, instead of Conservatory.

TW: brief mention of suicide 25:13–25:50
