Grooves from the Urb'n'Jungle

As a Brussels-based music journalist, global sounds activist, radiomaker, DJ and also curator of Groovalizacion Radio. I’ve been specializing in music from around the globe since 2005 for several Belgian and Dutch newspapers and magazines. I’ve got a clear penchant for African music, from the mother continent and the Diaspora.
I write about world music & cultures, always looking for artists who have interesting things to say. That’s why afrobeat is my favorite music: it’s outspoken and very danceable.
I like to call myself a mestizo (half-breed >> double-breed!!) having a Flemish mother and French-speaking father from Brussels, making me a half-Nordic, half-Latin hybrid.
My weekly program Radio Mukambo immerses you in Afro grooves and the pulsation of our cities where sounds get mixed up to create music without borders. Afrobeat, Afro-Latin & Afro-Brazilian, Lusafrican, soukouss, ethiogrooves, Arab beats, reggae/dub/dancehall & hip-hop with an ethnic/regional flavor, tropical bass. www.mukambo.be
DJ Mukambo is africanizing and groovalizing nightlife with great Afro stuff that will make y'all dance the whole nite round! www.facebook.com/DJ.Mukambo/

I'm also resident DJ of Groove Kilombo in Brussels and organize Vk Afro-Groove at Vk concerts in Brussels >>> www.mukambo.be
