Jeffrey Franca, the drummer for DC’s own world music icon Thievery Corporation – the band that generously allows us to use its music to open our show each week – brings us on the journey he took to become a musician. He shares with us the value of unity, love and positivity in his work, which is influenced by musical styles found worldwide. Our chat also highlights his work outside of Thievery, in the band Congo Sanchez and in his indpendent project Ethno. We love this music and we hope you will, too!
