Africa Latina Mix

February 25, 2013 by Boima Tucker

For our final chapter of the Dutty Artz February Mixtape Mondays (check previous mixes by DJ /rupture & Sonido Martines, DJ Ushka, and DJ Ripley), my brother Geko Jones and I decided to chime in with a collaborative submission. For several years, Geko and I have been following and rearranging the lines that connect Africa and Latin America through our musical explorations. This mix, which touches on Champeta, Semba, Ndombolo, Morna, House, Kuduro, and neo-Highlife, is our latest take on the […]

The Highlife: Afrocan House

Angolan Youngstas

April 29, 2008 by Boima Tucker

From Benn Loxo Du Taccu March 12, 2007 Benn loxo listener Chief Boima comes through with a great Afro-Portuguese hiphop guest post today: “I don’t know why but I too have become infatuated with Afro-Portuguese music. Maybe it’s because I’m Sierra Leonean and the Portuguese were the first to colonize before the British, and some Portuguese words survived in Krio like “sabi.” Or, maybe it’s because I speak Spanish not French and the it is much easier for me to […]
