Tana Yonas collects songs like souvenirs, each recalling precious moments found leafing through dusty foreign record shops or catching sonic fragments weathered by time from the radio of bumpy taxi rides. Listen as she delicately guilds together these memories and shares music from lesser known and under represented musical traditions from across the globe and decades.

8th Path Records is an independent label and creative platform founded by DJ and cultural curator Boston Chery. Rooted in the spirit of sonic freedom and cultural legacy, 8th Path serves as a home for genre-bending artists across the African and Caribbean diasporas. The label was created to amplify voices often overlooked in traditional music spaces—centered around liberation, experimentation, and Black queer expression. 

Through a commitment to community and sound, 8th Path Radio was launched as an extension of the label: a global, online radio series dedicated to deepening connections between artists, listeners, and ancestral rhythm. Broadcasting guest mixes, interviews, and themed sets, the station has become a trusted space for discovery, healing, and storytelling through music.  Together, 8th Path Records and Radio operate as a creative ecosystem—where music is not only heard, but felt, remembered, and reimagined.

Discovery Zone and Paint Present: City Bank™ @ The Lot Radio 08-08-2025

We might be in different cities right now, but I’m sure we all need something to refresh our bodies and souls..a special mixtape to share with loved ones, a slice of 🍉 in hand, the Mediterranean breeze kissing our skins, and dreams of a peaceful world 🌞

To curate this journey, I invited someone who truly embodies the Mediterranean spirit: my dear friend and one of Napoli’s brightest gems, @bassolino.sound .

Dario Bassolino (aka Dario Bass) is a producer, pianist, and composer whose work spans collaborations with @nicolaconteofficial , @lndfk , Pink Siifu, Nu Genea, and more. His music carries forward Naples' rich tradition, channeling the energy of artists like Toni Esposito and James Senese, and the cinematic textures of ‘70s and ‘80s poliziotteschi soundtracks.

His debut album (and one of my personal favorite albums of all time) Città Futura, out via @periodicarecords and @jakartarecords , is a tribute to this ever-evolving musical landscape.

Napoli is such a special and important city and I think everyone who's been there gets me. It's not only bursting with life, but also stands as a powerful symbol of cultural resilience and resistance, echoing all the way back to the days of the Roman Empire.

It’s also the closest European city to Tunisia, my motherland. From their symbols (the same red pepper we use to make Harissa is actually their lucky charm) to their lifestyle, everything revolves around hope, nostalgia, and community. There’s a common sense of intense realness that might strike you hard at first, but with time, you’ll understand it’s mostly because we live in a world full of hypocrisy, and we Mediterraneans simply say things as they are.

During my visit and conversations with my brother Massimo De Lena (@nu_genea ), @gigitesta__ , and @davide__damico , I witnessed how Neapolitan artists build their unique sound through research, patience, and reverence for their roots. Maybe that’s just our Mediterranean way : we take our time.

I wrote this on my way back from Tunisia to Paris, Bassolino’s mixtape in my ears, eyes lost in the blue, hoping that soon, we’ll all be by the sea, free, sharing a 🍉 in hand together.
