Not even 10 hours out of Dakar and I’m already missing it. What a great city. I’ll definitely be back soon, and hopefully have a better hold on my French language skills. Dakar in a lot of ways (right now at least) is the African city of my dreams. It’s not my ancestral homeland, but it feels like home to someone in between worlds like myself. A diverse cosmopolitan population, but a strong sense of cultural pride and deep traditional […]

I was on my way to the airport in London, about to head to Dakar, when I called Sogui who said, “bring your Serato, Malik booked us at a club this weekend.” So pleasantly surprised, I am adding a date to make this a truly world tour. Dancehall in Dakar tonight, Baobab Connected again, K Club in Almadies. After a couple canceled gigs, the promoters took this video last night to post on facebook to prove that a DJ from […]

Yesterday I went sightseeing with Anna, one of my hosts here in Stockholm, and my friend Tehran. I was standing at the bus stop and got a nod from what seemed like an established in Sweden-African man, with his presumably 2nd generation Swedish son (the Swedish version of me and my pops!) Anna was surprised, and asked if I get that a lot. I said, “you don’t know about the Black man’s head nod?” That’s Stockholm for me right now. […]

I was debating turning this into a travel log of sorts, and it seems I’ve been inconsistent with the type of stuff I put up here, but thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts on the road while in Europe, especially when relevant to music. I landed in Warsaw, Poland and after a long in and out of sleep flight, and arriving at what would have been 2am New York time, I found myself questioning what […]
