Ohangla
There is a new Ohangla sound in Kenya, and i am so addicted. Traditionally the music and dance for serious ceremonies of the Luo, it has recently gained cross tribal popularity all over the country, and performed for pure fun.
NGOMA Soundsystem Live
Concert reviews: Jagwa, Ebo Taylor, Jaliba Kuyateh, Antibalas
Berlin has been blessed this Fall/winter with many truly amazing out of this world vibes from the motherland and diaspora. Here are some brief personal accounts: 
Sound culture in the Heart of Light
and here is a repost from the old blog, of classic Congolese Rumba, literally the sweetest sounds i have ever heard.
tracklisting: volume 1 / volume 2.
Big big thanks to Bolingo69 for the original upload. It is criminal that these heavenly sounds are out of print and commercially unavailable anywhere. Here are both volumes together on mediafire.
And I’ve been meaning to do an official NGOMA volume of modern dance floor Soukous for some time… it will happen soon. But until then, there are lots of awesome tunes in this episode of Radio Ngoma:
Drumming
ChaCha – Dub-Ragga inna Mandarin Stylee
met this girl at Worldtronics last year performing with Jahtari affiliates, delivering a dope set of digital Chinese Dancehall before Soom T got on the mic with more fire. Shanghai stand up!
Fusion Festival 2011 Video
when we started, Matchume just flew in from Portugal 2 hours before, and Congo from France the night before, and I had just played at Berghain the night before… so all 3 of us were running on zero to very little sleep. which might be reason that we forgot to bring a disc recorder to record off the board, so that’s why the camera stayed on the stage and didn’t move around this time, because it was attached to the sound board. also, the Camera man wanted to dance for the last hour, and put the camera down… which was too bad as that was the most hype hour: 3000 jumping and screaming. But despite all this i’m still happy with the way it turned out.
