Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Vol.4
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-02-21

What's African music today? When going to record shops, one is able to find many incredible reissues and compilations. Then there's a small 'afrobeat' stack sometimes, where new and groovy afro music is usually displayed. Here's a little deeper digging, with electronic afrojazz from France (Minimoogli), electronic afrosoul from Netherlands (thru England: AIFF reinterpreted by Diesler and Laura Vane), Afropunk Slam from Trinidad (Anthony Joseph on France's leading jazz label Heavenly Sweetness), funky Afrojazz from Germany (The Boogoos), American Afrofunk (Kokolo) remixed by Israelian funkmeister Kutiman, and cinematic Afrojazz from the United Kingdom (Middlewood Sessions)...
