"To live a disco life, you gotta be free!" -Jeff Josephs/Gramacks

Disco in the ‘70s and early ‘80s was more than a musical style, it was an aesthetic and cultural movement that influenced musicians, dancers, record producers and record labels around the world. Plenty of musicians used disco concepts and imagery without literally employing the musical tropes of disco, or fused certain elements with local musical styles to remain relevant or seek cross-over success. Also, New York DJs and dancers were open to, and to a large degree remain open to diverse sounds from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America. Tunes like "Soul Makossa" were massively influential in the creation of what one might call disco. It’s not by chance that the labels Makossa, Rokel’s and Charlie’s Records made Disco-themed sleeves for their 12" dance singles.
All that said, this mix isn’t intended as a historical treatise, it’s simply a vinyl mix of great music pulled from the stacks, records released in the ‘70s and records released last year. I’ll make more. It's for fun!

Original lyrics:
Mindjeris di panu pretu
Ka bo tchora pena
Si kontra bo pudi
ora ke un son di nos fidi
bo ba ta rasa
pa tisinu no kasa
Pabia li ki no tchon
no ta bai nan te
bolta di mundi
I rabu di pumba
Ma bo na limpa korson
ku no sangi kin a kai natchon 

English lyrics:
Women in mourning
no more tears of sadness
If you could 
when one of us is injured
Pray for them to bring us home
Because this is where our land is 
no matter how far we go
However many times we travel the world
we always return to the same place
But clean your heart with our blood that spills on the land. 

Spanish lyrics:
Mujeres de luto
no lloren más
Si pueden cuando uno 
de nosotros caiga herido  
Recen, para que regresemos a casa
Porque aquí es donde esta nuestra tierra, 
no importa  donde vayamos
Por más vueltas que se de al mundo
siempre se vuelve al mismo lugar
Pero limpien su corazón con nuestra sangre 
que cae en nuestra tierra. 

Portuguese lyrics:
Mulheres de pano preto, 
nâo chorem mais
Se puderem
quando um de nós cair ferido
rezem por nós 
para que regressemos à nossa casa
Porque aqui é que é a nossa terra
não importa aonde formos
Por mais voltas que der o mundo, 
volta-se sempre ao mesmo lugar
Mas vocês hâo de limpar o curacao
como a nosso sangue
que cai no châo

Deep In The Jungle Ep4

After my first selection of Turkish Folk, Funk and Psychedelic music, I have put a couple of my favorite nigerian records together for a short mix you will hopefully like! Some rough mixing on a sunday afternoon at our lovely Goldkante in Bochum city. 

KALAKUTA SOUL SELECTION #2 - NIGERIAN FUNK, BOOGIE & DISCO

Cultural and non benefit purpose. 2nd delivery of our AfroDelis Mix with a lot of proper names of Musical Continent, masters like ethiopian Teddy Afro, Conakry's Takana Zion, Ugandian Fally Ipupa, Congolose Roga Roga or Mali's Toumani Diabaté son Sidiki. And of course Ghanaian & Nigerian legion with Davido on Global Top. In comparision with our acclaimed first set, this delivery is more oriented to clubs and big parties mixing in our trademark huge international hits with underground anthems in Africa from these 3 years ago (mainly from 2017). This is a tribute to all singers, musicians, producers and recording studio rats from all Africa and diaspora (London, Paris, Bruxelles, Caribbean)putting African Music Pride on the top of the world proving that African Music is so vast and diverse as their 55 countries and thousands of peoples there are. Try & Enjoy. TRACKLIST enclosed. Check it out and share it, massive. One Love. CARLOS MONTY from SPAIN

Liriany - Às Vezes

Last Tursday I played a b2b set with my new irmao mighty tune selector Palo Santo. A night full of Capeverdean, Guadaloupean, African & Tropical music at the magnificent Landjuweel Festival 2018. It was our first set together and also the first music played at the new Club De Ville stage. Unfortunately there was a power breakdown and some technical issues but I managed to save a nice hour of music for you to listen during your second half of summer. Enjoy and many thanks to Jesse, Mark, Maya & everybody at Landjuweel!

10 Desde mil Novecentos e Uaue

Drenched in Africa: a selection of killer and super rare original 45's from West and East Africa

Is This Disco? No, mostly not. Stylistically, this mix is konpa, makossa, soca, Afro-funk, electro…and some boogie and disco too. Anyway it's all great music that would fit right in at a disco night anywhere in the world, any time in the past half century, but especially New York City. All vinyl btw but also who cares ;)
Mix first aired on Stewart Avenue radio 4/29/2019

Musician, DJ, journalist, based in NYC @zonalibredjs

He’s a resident DJ of Zona Libre with dj tres dos. modrums approaches his DJ sets with an ear to the sonic footprint of the African diaspora, drawing on an impressive collection built from his years as a radio producer and a musician and shaped by his frequent travels through Europe, West Africa and the Caribbean. He plays with a sense of tension and release, emotion and humor, merging roots, retro pop and current aesthetics into a singular experience of communal joy.
