Footane :::: Etoile de Dakar

'Wonna Mama' is a call on all citizens of Ghana and the continent's (Ghana's mama) inhabitants  to push for the best and connect with the aim to solve their own problems, without reliance on the so-called leaders, who have failed massively in terms of regional integration, economic and infrastructural development, etc.

As projected more vividly with Martin Luther King Jr's quote; "the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy," we as artists seek to portray the state of the nation and explore possible measures to tackle this death-fall.

Since kwame write released Public Verses Announcement EP, enthusiasts have been calling for more, especially as they realized he had the flair for rap aside poetry recitals.

It gets realer since kwame write features one of Ghana's most renowned musicians with a solid sense of social consciousness and activism; the one and only Wanlov Kubolor from Fokn Bois' duo.

You'll likely keep this tune on repeat and allow yourself to be carried away and sizzled by the fast paced long syllable rhyming and positive content, But do share as well.

Amidst the flooding in the capital, power outages(dumsor), water shortages, demolition of housing without properly planned relocations, we bring you #wonnamama so that as you listen keenly, you're motivated to push for change!

The only released LP by Burundian band Amabano from 1987 has been given the Afro7 reissue treatment.
In their extensive song repertoire, the band crosses styles into funky psych territory with a good dose of guitar, but not without Congolese and Burundian folklore influences.

A must listen for fans of East African music by the most influential Burundian group of the past four decades.

The reissue comes with extensive liner notes on the band’s history and their background within the Burundian music scene.

Persistance & changement

In 2019, Ostinato Records became the first label granted access to the grand Archives of Radiodiffusion-Télévision de Djibouti (RTD), a vault of secrets and stories from East Africa.

The first in our Djibouti Archives series is a seminal anthology of 4 Mars, a 40-member Somali supergroup behind the most streamed and downloaded track on our Grammy-nominated Sweet As Broken Dates compilation. The personal band of a political party, 4 Mars' sound reveals a brand new history of the world.

Turkish synths, Jamaican Reggae, American brass, Bollywood vocals, Egyptian and Yemeni rhythms, and Chinese and Mongolian flutes all rendezvous in a corner of East Africa that for centuries served as the world's most brisk trading hub, the midway point connecting Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean. All roads led to the Gulf of Tadjoura, not Rome.

This is Somali music at its sassy, soulful, synthesized best.

Warmly restored and remastered from digitized master reels and cassettes housed in the RTD archives.

FULLY AUTHORIZED by RTD and Le Palais du Peuple (The Palace of the People), which created and oversees 4 Mars. Royalties paid directly to The Palace of the People.
