Aw incredible, first time hearing Ronnie's playing in such high quality, until now I had only heard what was on youtube

A mix of music from the catalog of the Athens-based record label Teranga Beat. Broadcasted on 25 April 2021 for Radio Alhara.
___________

TERANGA BEAT started in Dakar in 2010 with an aim to showcase the fascinating music and culture of Senegal. Through the years, the label expanded its interest into other musical cultures as well, to include music from Gambia, Ethiopia and Greece. Their productions fuse traditional music with jazz and psychedelia in such a delicate way that it undoubtedly creates a very strong identity on all of their releases.

Barbatuques is a Brazilian collective that produces music mainly through their bodies, like beatboxing, clap of hands, whispers, finger claps, hitting their chests, tap dancing etc. resulting in stunning sounds. Now hot Italian producers Milangeles and The Clerk have teamed up to rework Barbatuques´epic "Baiana" anthem in contemporary bass style.

Barbatuques - Baiana (The Clerk & Milangeles Edit)

From Cosmic Cabo Verde to synth-reggae at the Horn of Africa.

(Special Mix for Vinyl Factory)
Frankfurt-based label Analog Africa is easily one of the most noteworthy labels rescuing and reissuing Afro sounds.

In 2015, the label gave us an exceptional anthology of Afro-Cuban pioneer Amara Touré, not to mention a compilation of tracks plucked straight from the dance floors of ’70s Senegal. Last year, they blew our human minds with some of the most extraterrestrial synth music we’ve ever heard on Space Echo.

This year, the label turns ten. To celebrate label boss Samy Ben Redjeb and his DJ partner Pedo Knopp have recorded a special mix which we’re delighted to share here.

“What is special about this mix is the fact that all the songs, except one, will be released on Analog Africa in 2017,” says Samy. “They have all been handpicked by myself and mixed in real time, without loops or any other kind of gimmicks by Pedo.”

It’s a synth-ridden journey from reggae in the Horn of African to Cosmic sounds of Cabo Verde, wavey soca-boogie monsters and other proto-electronic Afro jams.

Various Artists: I'm not here to hunt rabbits

An audiophile 180g vinyl incl. 36 page color booklet & 8 download bonus tracks

With all of a humanity reduced to a genome, who’d a thunk there’d be some sweet, folksy music being made in a remote corner of the world that almost no one had heard of until youtube came along?

You’d a thunk it! And you were right! This is a whole community of musicians from the heart of Africa playing guitar in a way most of us have never seen or thought possible—unless you happened to be following a handful of viral internet videos. And if you were and happened to read the comments below the videos, you would have seen the question: “Where can I buy this music?” 

The answer is: on Piranha Records on 27 April 2018!

Piranha may be a small fish, but it makes its presence felt. As an independent label that releases and publishes music, we discover and present extraordinary sounds and artists from the global underground. Our repertoire contains worlds, ranging from traditional to tradi-modern, from classical to hip hop and electro. Recording in diverse places, not only in studios but also on mountains, deserts or the streets and in various destinations, from Maputo to Havana, Cairo to Belgrade, New York to Berlin-Kreuzberg, has always been part of the label’s history. Piranha Records belongs to the Piranha Arts’ family, alongside WOMEX, Classical:NEXT and Karneval der Kulturen, committing ourselves to the value of crossing borders - be they cultural, political or commercial.
