Mix: Radio Mukambo #576 Deep-Rooted Futurism

Once again, Radio Mukambo takes you on an outernational voyage where futurism is rooted in authentic African, Arab and Latin American culture.

From Ghana, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley is back with his deep, soulful, and funky highlife on Wake Up Afrika. The King of simigwa-highlife remains the grandmaster of blending of highlife, funk, jazz, soul, and proto-rap.

Hugo Kant treats us to a generous fusion of genres, flute solos, instruments and vocals from all parts of the world on his fifth album Can’t Be Done.

AMMAR 808‘s deep-rooted, room-shaking third album Club Tounsi is a powerful statement of his Tunisian identity and a joyous celebration of the dancefloor, blending Mezoued rhythms and instrumentation with an impossibly infectious blast of bass-heavy futurism.
