Soundsystem is at the crossroads. What used to be exotic is standard fare: now you hear cumbia in the West Village of New York City. Now you can hear the West Village in West Africa. For part 2 of Afropop Soundsystem, we'll be digging back into the digital Diaspora to uncover songs and artists making waves across the Atlantic (in both directions). From Uproot Andy to the electric root of Akan music in Ghana, Soundsystem 2 charts the movement and flux of Africa as it infiltrates new dance-floors and blogs across the galaxy. Expect exclusive mixes from the Brooklyn tropical scene, some Miami-bass reborn through Chico Mann, tracks from the South African avant garde, as well as a new bubu-dancehall stunner from San Fransisco's Chief Boima. Back by popular demand, we'll also feature a short interview with bubu music founder, Janka Nabay of Sierra Leone. Produced by Wills Glasspiegel, this is the Africa new wave. |
