2 hours of music from Chad put together by Mother of Mankind.

This is a pretty contemporary show today compared to a lot of my shows, with lots of hip-hop, afrobeats, dancehall, reggaeton, afro-house and some great collaborations.  As with a lot of countries in Africa that were heavily impacted by conflict, a lot of the amazing music being made in the 60s/70s/80s was not recorded so its very limiting in terms of listening to earlier music.

I've decided to focus on 3 key artists - Mc Solar, Afrotronix and Anonyme plus a focus on a musical project called Pulo NDJ which combines traditional sounds from across east Africa with electronic production.
