More love for African around the net as of late which reminded me to dig up some mp3's from Kenya I've been meaning to sift through. I owe most of them to a friend of mind who let me burn 2 data cd's worth of stuff she brought back. A lot of it is way poppy but some of the beats really bang. From what I can tell the above "Wariah" pokes some fun at Muslim/Christian conflicts. Also makes good use of the Mas Que Nada melody which has me hooked. I'd post up my file but it's pretty poor quality (most likely ripped from the above source). Here are a few other tracks we heard. Mwafalanguzi we've heard on the show a bunch, and some Kenyan reggaeton new to the air. Not as much info on these, can anyone help ID?
Music from the net on the show with a Senegalese mixtape excerpt shared by Ghislain Poirier via Mad Decent. The new DJ Spooky mix is also worth a mention, featuring tracks from around the continent it was prepared for his installation at this year's Venice Biennial art exhibition. We'll probably hear some excerpts from that this week along with whatever else I can sift from the pile. See you Wed. night,
