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 […]

It’s Bigger than… Coupe Decale.

July 7, 2008 by Boima Tucker

(Douk Saga from his myspace page) Big ups to Rachel Emmet for creating an English language Coupe Decale Wikipedia article. And putting out the challenge to the Anglo-phones to spread real knowledge about Coupe Decale. A trailer for an upcoming documentary on the subject was sent to Ghetto Bassquake. I wanted to point to those and respond to Rachel‘s request with some ideas of my own. I saw a great slide show on the contemporary politics of Ivory Coast, especially […]
