Batida is back with a collection of remastered tracks, unreleased mixes and lost versions on Um, a title with a double meaning as it’s both number 1 in Portuguese as “hmm”, an Angolan sound to start many words in Umbundo language, the main language spoken in Huambo, the city where artist Pedro Coquenão (aka Batida) was born. “Um” is our cd of the week.
Radio Mukambo also focuses on Radar Station, a project by producer/musician Toby Mills with influences going from Ethiopia and Nigeria to a UK vibe of heavy bass and jazz. We discover Sahas, a new afrobeat band from Japan +++ new sounds by Sahad and The Nataal Patchwork (Senegal), Alibombo (Colombia), Faraon Bantu y ChampetaMan (Palenque Records).
