Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Spectacular Vol.2
Sunday 29 April 2012, 17:24
Afrobeat is a form of music that's already been perfected and there are many bands who are just trying to attain that, most of the time writing their own compositions which reflect their own influences. Sometimes they'll play a Cuban clave or something else which somehow or other still fits. So unless Fela comes back to them and says Don't play Afrobeat, they're gonna keep on doing it.

Blitz The Ambassador - World People 02 (MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) 2011-05-02 The World People concept is quite easy: we meet artists in Paris, shoot some photos, ask them for a playlist of what they're currently listening to, we publish a mix of the thing, and find in the artist' selection the next guest.

His new album Native Sun will be out this week and if you get the chance to go and check him onstage, don't hesitate!! If in doubt,...

Bob Marley of course, Peter Tosh too, he was a huge favorite of mine.", says Seun. He made this selection for Paris DJs as a snapshot of what he's listening to these days: dancehall, hip hop, afrobeat, reggae, and a Ray Charles classic… Seun Kuti is currently...
