Liberia Dispatches

January 25, 2012 by Boima Tucker

I wanted to take a moment to point to a series of dispatches I did around my trip to West Africa this summer for The Cluster Mag, and cross-posted at This is Africa. My first installment takes a brief glance at the Ghanian scene (which is currently “blowing up” in the U.K.), and then the following two go more in depth about the scene in Liberia, and my own experience in putting together a compilation of Liberian music with Akwaaba music […]

Lone Stars Mix

October 7, 2011 by Boima Tucker

I just uploaded a new mix to Ghetto Bassquake and Akwaaba Music. I also made a commentary on the political and economic context this music was made in at Africa is a Country, and Cluster Mag (If you’ve been missing my posts over at Cluster Mag, I’m doing a series on my travels in West Africa this summer. I already touched on Ghana and Liberia, and will end with my reflections on my return visit to Sierra Leone.) This mix […]

A Rainy Sunday Morning

August 16, 2011 by Boima Tucker

I had a real fun time as a guest on my DJ partner and roommate Lamin Fofana‘s Sunday morning radio show this past weekend. We laughed the whole way through the rainy morning, and when Lamin would stop suddenly and announce, “on a serious note, there is flash flooding in…” I’d be rolling on the floor. I can’t switch gears that fast. But I mostly wanted to share this because I was able to play a lot of music that […]

mAfromatics Mix and Akwaaba Music

July 12, 2008 by Boima Tucker

I’m uploading this mix to promote my regular Wednesday night gig here in San Francisco at the Tunnel Top (601 Bush Street.) It is a mix of African Pop, Caribbean and African American musics that are an indication of some of the styles I play at the night. I call the night African Booty Scratchers. That’s Americans’ derogatory word for African Immigrants in the United States. Being 2nd generational, people called me and my family that when I was growing […]
