African in New York is here! And I’m also proud to present my first every music video, the NY edition of “Without Money No Family.” I shot and edited it myself, taking some footage from the original clip, I’m happy to see the final result but anxious to hear what people think about it.
Buy African in New York as a partial album on iTunes, and at a few other digital retailers. The full album will be a physical version with a special bonus track available sometime soon!
“African in New York” is going to be available for sale tomorrow. I made a mix to promote in on XLR8R. Check Podcast 234. I have some other special things I’m excited to share tomorrow for the release.
The EU tour continues this weekend. Here’s a video of the change between Mele and I in Paris. Meles opener kills!
More up hopefully soon.
The Afro-Spectacle is now streaming online. Listen back to an entertaining evening of collective music video watching. If you missed it the first time, the good news is it looks like we’re going to make this a regular thing.
I’m headed to France and Germany to play music, come see me if you are going to be where I am.
I’m going to kick the trip off in Brooklyn on February 16th with Paleta @Bembe alongside DJ Eko.
Then I fly to Paris for HELL YEAH! Tropical Madness @Batofar w/ Mele + Patamix DJ’s, Saturday February 18th (flyer above).
Then I’m rounding it out with three dates in Germany:
February 22nd: Berlin NGOMA Sound @Soju Bar w/ DJ Zhao
February 24th: Leipzig @Staubsauger w/DJ Sencha
February 25th: Krefeld @Schlachthof w/ Daniel Wahl
Enchanté! Danke! See you soon!
This upcoming Monday, I will be sitting on a panel in New York called “Meet the Afropolitians.” It’s part of a larger global event called Social Media Week, and we’ll talk about representing Africa and collaborating with peers through social media and the Internet.
Check us out on Monday. RSVP early to attend because I’m told it will fill up! If you can’t make it in person, livestream it here!
I’m headed to Montreal this weekend. If you’re going to be in town come through to the Nuit D’Afrique! This will be my first time being on the home turf of the Masala crew, and I’m very much looking forward to it!
DJ Ripley has arrived in NY for good, and she’s throwing a party to celebrate!
February 3rd at Public Assembly.
This will be the first in a series of events trying to bring together revolutionary thought, practice, and music in once space. The Williamsburg version of a Jamaican street dance, perhaps?
