            <description><![CDATA[ With so much music out there clamoring for your attention, you know it's a good sign when you listen to a new album and wonder, who  is  this? There&rsquo;s a good chance you&rsquo;ll ask the same when you listen to the witty, lyrical explosion of humour, education and reality that is   Songsiwrotewheniwasthinkingthethingsiwasthinkingsoirecordedityeahmein!   Huh? Yeah. That's what we thought too when we first saw the album title, but that was before we discovered that  Kwabena Jones  was part comedian, part emcee, part hiplife artist and 100% alter ego of Bosco, the Ghanaian rapper whose hilarious bow-tied, nerd glasses-wearing, prissy-voiced creation is a medium through which to channel his sarcastic and alternative brand of humour. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[  Reissued West African music from the 70s is big business these days. There have been so many spectacular releases of standalone albums and compilations in the last 3 years that it could be overwhelming even for people&nbsp; already familiar with the reissue sub-culture. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[       Anbuley  is another name we ought to have included in our short piece about  African artists rooted in Africa but oblivious to boundaries  of geography or genre&nbsp;(as you can probably tell from the above and from her previous releases; links at the end of this post). ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      In this promo/intro-to-an-artist clip, South African musician Spoek Mathambo (Nthato Mokgata) pretty much sums up what it is we find interesting about him and a handful of other artists like  Nneka ,  Edoheart  and  Muthoni the Drummer Queen , and why we think such artists are likely to endure long after more immediately accessible artists have faded from our collective memory. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      A hip-hop artist calling for a revolution might sound like business as usual, but when the country in question is the West African nation of  Togo  you have to admit the artist has a point. The artist in this case is  YaoBobby , one of the pioneers of hip-hop in Togo, founding member of premier rap crew Djanta Kan, and someone who would probably agree wholeheartedly with the idea that it is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      This vibrant burst of colour and energy is the video for  Alegria , one of the tracks from  Batida , project and debut album of Angolan/Portuguese  DJ Mpula  (Pedro Coquen&atilde;o) on which he combines samples from old 1970s Angolan tracks with modern electronic dance music. It's been described as the sound of the wildest Angolan street party and it's no exaggeration. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      We  first  heard about Nigerian 'Yoruba soulful roots' artist  Kuku  when he released  The Cure , the lead single to his new album Soldier of Peace. It came with  a video  that revealed his customary stripped down format - voice, acoustic guitar, percussions - and it was simply captivating.&nbsp; ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ We've been rather impressed with the tracks we've heard so far from up-and-coming Nigerian Dancehall artist  Squeeze . As we mentioned  a short while back , the first two earned him some encouraging airplay back home, on the back of which he put out a couple more last December from soon-to-drop mixtape. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      No Autotune, no programmed loops, no fronting, fancy cars or gyrating girls. This is "classic" Motown (with a nod to Memphis and Stax Records by way of  The Staple Sisters ), but updated to bridge the gap between the Lagos of today and Detroit/Memphis of yesteryears, and between nostalgia and our post-modern sensibility. It's done with wit and a wink, and comes with a video to match courtesy of Nigeria's busiest music video director,  Clarence Peters . ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      Are you allowed to enter music with religious overtones for the Eurovision Song Contest? Coz Congolese Gospel group  Makoma 's new single has got Eurovision potential written all over it. And the group has been based in Europe for almost 15 years (first the Netherlands, now the UK), so no barrier to entry there. And, after all, Kenyan singer-songwriter Stella Mwangi represented Norway last year. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Times flies when you're busy doing a 9-5. It's been 11 years since Ghanaian Hiplife duo KgPM (made up of KGee and The PM) released their critically acclaimed debut album  Saa Na Wotiɛ , which featured  Blitz the Ambassador  (one of our favourite rappers and also one of the most hard-working emcees out there) and  Obrafour , a Hiplife veteran who, in his own words is "one of the few survivors of the test of time". ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[  http://content.omroep.nl/ghettoradio/musicblog/wizkid_azonto.mp3 &nbsp;Right-click to   DOWNLOAD   Wizkid's  Azonto (freestyle)    This is very reminiscent of what happened when B-Boys discovered DJ Kool Herc extending the length of James Brown breaks (the popular parts of his songs where he famously &lsquo;gave the drummer some&rsquo;) and started dancing in those breaks. Whatever they were doing before came to be known as &lsquo;break dancing&rsquo;. More importantly, a new form of music was born: hip-hop. It too was described as a fad. Thirty or so years on though, hip-hop has become an all-conquering mainstay of American (if not global) culture. More than a form of music, it is a culture.  ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ There are few really good African Hip-hop mixtapes out there, and  The Extraordinaires  is surely one of them. A collaboration between emcee  The Holstar , one of the driving forces behind Hip-hop in Zambia over the last six years, and inventive, prolific Nigerian producer Teck-Zilla of the  Str8Buttah  crew, the 10-track album is made up of gritty, soulful beats and insightful topics, a welcome break from the typical pop-hook laden rap songs we're all so used to hearing. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ When we  last spoke to K'naan  he was in the middle of the World Cup tour, about to play a show for a Coca-Cola promotional event in the Ajax Arena stadium in Amsterdam. And while his soccer related activities were centered around a track that had very little to do with the artist's origins in hip hop music, K'naan shared his plans of recording a proper hip hop album - his friend Mos Def had ranked him among his favorite emcees and certainly there are more hip hop heads waiting for their turn.      18 months later, K'naan is back, not with a full album but an EP titled 'More beautiful than silence' and we agree, what a way to break the quiet. The tracklist&nbsp; was announced, featuring a cameo by Nelly Furtado, but the first single delivers on his promise - 'Nothing to lose' is a bare bones hip hop production with US based rapper Nas, by now a veteran in the hip hop scene and one of K'naan's early inspirations when he first came to Canada and the USA in the mid 90s. ]]></description>

The album is a journey through the life of the Seattle born-and-raised Ethiopian-American artist and community activist. It&rsquo;s a multi-lingual, multi-genre, multi-cultural journey that is chronicled through a variety of diverse lenses and voices. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      When the subject of West African music from the 60s and 70s is discussed, it&rsquo;s hard for the casual fan to look beyond the great Fela Kuti. Fela alone is enough for many people, since his body of work is quite extensive. For the novice, going through it all is a daunting task, so, sadly, many don&rsquo;t venture beyond that. Thus, when it comes to West African music, with the exception of connoisseurs, and older Africans, most people can&rsquo;t get past the canon of Fela, and it&rsquo;s understandable. Even people who don&rsquo;t know much about West Africa, much less Nigeria have heard of Fela. His work is the most popular, and after the Fela musical, his music reached an even wider audience. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ In all likelihood this will be the first time most music fans will have heard Grammy Award winning R&amp;B singer-songwriter, rapper and record producer  Estelle  speaking or singing in Pidgin English, but then she  is  half-Senegalese and there can't be many people with roots in West Africa who do not understand  Pidgin , a lingua franca that has had its cultural cachet boosted in the last few years as more and more artists employ it (it already had street cred). ]]></description>
