Thanks for the introduction to this group – these are some fantastic tracks. I will be on the lookout for new material from them.

thx for the music and the article in the comments, which got me thinking there are really some post-fela afrobeat/african music, bands from USA like Nomo, which are really good.

Extra Golden’s Alex Minoff wrote an interesting and thought provoking article about authenticity in African music and African-”Western” collaborations.

Thanks.

Yeah, it’s true: Suburbs are killing us often beats me to it! In my defense on Thrilljockey’s request I was waiting until closer to Hera Ma Nono’s release to do the post.

Cheers
