Turning Point Sessions

This week on Island Time brings back another offering from @AnalogDakarClub , a collective of DJ's passionate about analogue African popular music - vinyl records and tapes - which has been organizing parties in the Senegalese capital for two years.

The mix is a journey from the West Indies to West Africa, back and forth, A mix of rhythms and cultures where it's hard to say who inspired who. The African influences in the West Indies music is obvious but we also found a lot of Caribbean patterns inspired songs all over West African artists. And we added some rare and outstanding 7" just dug.

TPS - 057 - SOUTHERN LIFEBLOOD
From Soweto's Township Jive to Harare's Chimurenga soul 
Selections by DJ Nomad (Berlin, Germany)
https://www.instagram.com/nomad_onest

Berlin‘s original tropical music pioneer DJ Nomad has been a collector of South African and Zimbabwean music for over 30 years. 
Berlin had due to it‘s very political music scene of the 80‘s close ties to south africa. Several anti-apartheid labels were based in Berlin, so there never was a shortage of southern African music in the city. Young Nomad fell in love with the fierceness, pride and love that the music from the townships radiated
Songs that spoke of the daily struggles of  the apartheid : living in township ghettos, working hard labour jobs, alcoholism, domestic violence and the mapantsulas - the street gangsters but also about love, romance and the hope for an evolution(which was soon to come).

This mix focuses on exactly that time period, the pre- revolutionary 60‘s and 70‘s before Kwaito & Bubblegum reflected a new way of life. It‘s a testament of life in the townships in the era of township jive, township soul and the early beginning of disco It travels from the townships to the north too the war torn city of Harare, that was still in the midst of the second "Chimurenga“  - the great Zimbabwe Rhodesian war for Independance. Later a whole genre of guitar heavy music from that area - showcased in the second half of the mix- was named after that conflict.

South African & Zimbabwean music from that certain era is loaded with history of the struggle for a better, more beautiful life. A longing for peace, love and equality. It was also a solace and source of  power to cope until those changes manifest.That‘s why it is the lifeblood of the south
