I Remember tells the tale of lovers turned to strangers, the pain of moving on, and lingering bad energy. DAP and Chandler reminisce on past flames and the bitter taste left when the love sours, the uncomfortable familiarity and awkward communication full of empty pleasantries.

Collaborations with Damon Albarn, Manu Chao, Santigold, TV On The Radio, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been well received.

In this episode of Planet Afropop, we explore the music and language of the Caribbean coasts’ Afro-indigenous Garinagu People of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, St. Vincent, and Nicaragua commonly known as the Garifuna.  The official story is that these are descendants of enslaved Africans who were shipwrecked on the Island of St. Vincent in 1635. The distinct Garifuna language and music challenge this narrative with mounting evidence emerging of an alternative origin story of the Afro-Caribes before trans- Atlantic slavery and Columbus. The Garifuna Collective takes us on a journey to explore these gaps in history through their new music, with their distinctive homegrown punta rock rhythms and paranda from their latest album, Aban whose meaning is One. Producer Muwkae Wabei Siyolwe caught up with the Garifuna Collective and Dr. Gwen Nunez Gonzales, a Garifuna language matriarch in Belize who shares the stories behind the resilience and cultural citizenship of the Garifuna people.

Planet Afropop - The Garifuna Collective: They Came Before Columbus

From the 1970s to the present—hip-hop and Afrobeats notwithstanding—the most beloved and popular music in Senegal has been and remains mbalax. Mbalax grew out of a scene where urban bands Dakar bands like the Star Band and Orchestra Baobab were experimenting with Afro-Cuban music, funk and other foreign styles, blending and mixing them with local traditions. Perhaps inevitably, Wolof sabar drumming entered the mix in a big way, and mbalax was born. Sabar drums, played with one stick and one hand, deliver complex, cracking rhythms that are the backbone of this dynamic genre. This Hip Deep program traces the emergence and development of mbalax with insights from ethnomusicologist Patricia Tang, author of Masters of the Sabar. Produced by Simon Rentner.
