Song of the Day: Afous D’Afous “Tarhanine Tegla”

DJ KC  10:00 am on April 23, 2019April 22, 2019

Afous D’Afous‘ modern desert blues, “Tarhanine Tegla”, turns up the heat and burns hotter than the Sahel sun from which it emerged.

Song of the Day: Ouza Et Ses Ouzettes “Dollar”

DJ KC  10:00 am on July 20, 2015July 29, 2015

Nothing but the algorithms of the internet pointed me to this obscure, out of print, dusty gem from Ouza Et Ses Ouzettes.

Song of the Day: Mim Suleiman “Nyuli”

DJ KC  10:00 am on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014
Mim Suleiman in the studio

I would describe “Nyuli” by Mim Suleiman as Swahili Nu-Disco / Word House, clearly distinct from the Deep House popular in South Africa.

Song of the Day: Blick Bassy “Massé” (DJ Stylus Sol Power Edit)

DJ Stylus  10:00 am on June 14, 2013June 14, 2013

My most recent rework is a tune by Cameroonian global soul artist Blick Bassy. “Massé” is a beautiful acoustic guitar and hand percussion piece that I re-rubbed for the dancefloor.
