What do guys think of African music?
I’m probably not helping much here, but yes, I love African music. I don’t know too much about the older stuff, but modern African music is ace. There’s a whole continent out there that is being virtually ignored, in music terms. It has a lot to offer. My favourite world music is still South American though, Brazilian in particular. If African musicians want to become more recognized, they need to get in touch more with European and American managers. That’s the only way to move forward. They have a lot to offer though, so they should. My favourite African tune at the minute is ‘Township Funk’ by Mujava. He was born and raised in Soweto, yet he managed to put a decent tune together. It will be released in the UK in the next month or so on Warp Records and it’s dope.
