Africanisms 5

00:00

Returning to Africa for Volume 5 in my Africanisms series, this set sees me delving further into music both out of and inspired by Africa with a heavy bent towards Afrobeat and Ethio sounds. Most of the selections are contemporary and demonstrate the impact of both Fela Kuti's Afrobeat and Mulutu Astatke's Ethio-Jazz sounds. The fact that both genres are still having such a large impact on musicians and producers today speaks volumes of the quality of the music they produced.

The artists in this mix span the world and I think, like the other 4 mixes in the Africanism series https://www.mixcloud.com/MrLob/africanisms/, https://www.mixcloud.com/MrLob/africanisms-2/ , https://www.mixcloud.com/MrLob/africanisms-3/ and https://www.mixcloud.com/MrLob/africanisms-4/ I think you'll enjoy the diversity and impact of this beautiful continent and it's influence over music being produced today.
