African Roots and Rhythms: Mix Tape #34
Some great music this month to celebrate some of the following countries: Mozambique (June 25), Madagascar (June 26), Djibouti (June 27), Seychelles (June 28) and Democratic Republic of the Congo (June 30). Sadly, I don’t have any music from Djibouti or Seychelles.
From Mozambique, here is some marrabenta music from Yinguica.
From Madagascar, here is something from back in the day.
Going back even further, here is something by DR Congo’s Tabu Ley.
For something a little more current, here is Fredy Masamba.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s mix tape. Happy Independence/National Day to Mozambique, Madagascar, Djibouti, Seychelles and DR Congo!
