Food In 2 Worlds Podcast

March 15, 2013 by Boima Tucker

This was a cool/fun thing to do. The homie Aaron Leaf asked me about my favorite African restaurant in Brooklyn, and then we recorded a podcast interview there about African food in New York. I’ve taken the liberty to post the text below, but go here to hear the podcast: Food in 2 Worlds™ Podcast: Sub-Saharan Brooklyn Offers the Flavors of Africa Shout out to all the people I’ve brought to this place to try my favorite plasas in Brooklyn! ————————————————————– […]

Goodbye for Now, Dakar

July 30, 2009 by Boima Tucker

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.

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 […]
