brown viking show #4 JASS SPECIAL! / piñata radio

Mixed & compiled by @simonalejandro @jungelenbrgn resident. 

Words by Simon: 
“I tried to bring you a selection of different styles from Africa with a short stop in the West Indies. This is rumba and soukous from Congo, electro + funky highlife sounds from Ghana, and some very mysterious (if you ask me) electro bikutsi from Cameroun that sounds like Caribbean cadence - that's the track from the group Ashiko Deluxe, which I've been after for almost three years without knowing the title!

You also hear gwo-ka music from Guadeloupe (Eric Cosaque!!) and jazz from Martinique (that Max Cilla album... flute king numero uno!).

These days i'm on a congolese thing – which you might hear starting off with the two nice and easy rumba tunes. First a little intro focusing on the lyrics before getting down to more dance floor business.

I've been buying these records over the last years mostly on flea markets and record stores in Paris, and some on Discogs. Many good memories from finding these tunes which I love deeply. If you want to hear me play this out you can come and catch me at a Jungelen party (Bergen) or just wherever!

Enjoy my friend!

Mucho love,
The Brown Viking"

Simon Alejandro Selection 20.04.24 (Benga, Nigerian Reggae, Gwada Jazz, Dub +++)

Simon Alejandro and Olav Eggestøl recently played the very last DJ set ever at Rommet, Bergen. Their final performance included dub, house, disco, zouk, mpb, rap and highlife.

The following day they went straight into the studio and recorded an epic mix of that set, now scheduled to air on Vers Libre.

Tune in for a piece of history as the chieftains of Jungelen and Mhost Likely go back-to-back for 4 hours of music, a deep dive into their own music collections. One final, graceful bow out as Rommet exits the arena. A thanks for everything it has given to the city of Bergen!
