This is a page to facilitate the review of my dissertation by my committee. Below is a selection of tracks employing the Mad Mad riddim/riff or the “Zunguzung” meme. I will be posting the “Mad Mad Mix” — a DJ-style performance connecting, in an intensely audible fashion, many of the songs below — ASAP.
