The re-release label known as Awesome Tapes from Africa is putting out a CD first recorded in Ivory Coast in the mid-80s. "Our Garden Needs its Flowers," by the duo Jess Sah Bi and Peter One, became a regional hit. Now, more than 30 years later, the music is getting a new lease on life. Peter One speaks to host Marco Werman from WPLN in Nashville, where Peter lives.
