''I believe in the power an edit or remix has. To elevate a record to a place where the way it was intended by the artist gets shifted totally.''

''But by doing so, bringing out some specific parts into a brighter light. In that way keeping the respect of the original track but just adding or taking parts away and putting my own ‘sauce’ there.''

''The Sade edit being switched to a ‘Dub’ drum pattern, the added keys, switch off the bass. The references of the Little Simz’s edit including samples of Kendrick Lamar Fela Kuti and Tyler the Creator. The match between Cleo Sol and Erykah Badu in two songs that were recorded years apart. The “Ostavi Trag” reference in the Solange edit.''

''All of these things are why I love making edits. I feel a record is never “finished”. Where the vision of the original artist for a record ends, it creates a start for a producer like me who hears something new. Not better or worse, just new with the intent to add something extra to this beautiful world of music.''

''When I finished making the edits I wanted to showcase that I brought all of these women who make their own style of music into one project. In a place which is a safe space to me. A reflection of my home and all the things I hold dear in music.''

''DJ’ing, producing, playing instruments, my inspiration sources, Soulection, the people around me. These influences all made the EP and James showcased this perfectly.''

AfricaNow! June 25, 2025 DR Congo-Rwanda Agreement Contextualized

Topic and Guest: Last week on June 20 was World Refugee Day.  Due to the continued external destabilization of the country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has nearly 7 million people have been displaced persons, and since the late 1990s over 6 million have been killed in the country due to conflict.   Recently we have seen the Rwandan-backed armed group M23 control towns in the eastern part of the DRC.  The DRC and Rwanda are scheduled to formally sign a peace agreement in Washington, DC to end the conflict in eastern DRC.  Kambale Musavuli dissects and contextualizes the proposed agreement--history of the conflict; the real nature of the agreement; the missing issue of justice for Congolese people in the agreement; the continued external destabilization by the U.S. and other western countries; the continued neo-colonial role of multinational corporations who are exploiting the DRC’s vast resources; the massive loss of life and more.

Kambale Musavuli is Analyst, at the Center for Research on the Congo-Kinshasa and is former National Spokesperson for the Friends of the Congo.  He is a human rights advocate and is one of the leading political and cultural Congolese voices.
