On these discs you will find the polyrhythmic vocal complexity of traditional Zulu music (recently popularised by star turns like Ladysmith Black Mambazo); the reggae- ish heal of Venda artists; shimmering harmonies, epitomised by the South Soto Bohlokong Choral or the Tswana Mmabatho police choir; the stomping rhythms and exuberance of Xhosa outfits such as the Harmony Baca Gumboot Dancers; and the gentle melodic fluency of Ndebele artists such as Love InspirationsAfrican Renaissance Vol 8 Traditional Dance Raindroppers - Thembi South African musictheworldmusicplanet2016-06-19 | Track 16 'Thembi' (Disc 1) by the Raindroppers from the 2 x CD album 'African Renaissance Vol 8 Traditional Dance.

In 2006, the excellent London-based record label Honest Jon's had the good fortune of landing the always-in-demand Tony Allen. Returning to Nigeria to record 'Lagos No Shaking' {'Lagos is doing fine' in Pidgin} was a homecoming for him and, as such, he incorporated more traditional elements on the disk, like talking drums, wood flute and juju sounds. Several generations of Nigerian artists appear: Fatai Rolling Dollar (the grandfather of palm-wine music) and Baba Ani (from Fela's band), Yinka Davies, the 'Erykah Badu of Nigeria', is a star vocalist, actress and cover girl with a deep spirituality. No stranger to Afrobeat, she previously worked with Lagbaja before a car accident nThe Rough Guide To Afrobeat Revolution - Ruth Tafebe and The Afrorockerz - Waritheworldmusicplanet2016-06-19 | Track 7 'War' by Ruth Tafebe and The Afrorockerz from The Rough Guide To Afrobeat Revolution released in 2009. The Afrorockerz is an ensemble led by guitarist Julien 'Juju' Raulet of the group Fanga.
Their debut 'Holy Warriors' on Comet Records brings in new flavours to the scene with acoustic guitar, talking drum, electronics and spaced out atmospheres. The project was born from 'the longing for breaking off the rules, starting with those who create musical genres.....this is the idea of an anti-globalisation activism willing to turn music into a lasting energy, as the band's press release puts it.
Guest vocalist Ruth Tafebe is originally from Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, and grew up in Montpellier, France, where she hooked up with Julien. She is a soulful lady who sings in English and Bambara, and is joined by Nigerian diva Asha on Yoruba vocals. Amayo (of Antibalas) and Chief Udoh (from Fela's group) also guest on the disk.

Puppet Boytheworldmusicplanet2016-06-19 | Track 5 'Puppet Boy' by Albino! from The Rough Guide To Afrobeat Revolution released in 2009. Albino! are a ten-piece ensemble that 'honours the fiery legacy' of Fela through a commitment to activism, charity causes and performing lively protest music, the band utilizes a large brass section, authentic African percussion, wild costumes, dancers and entertaining choreography to get their message of dance and rebellion across.
'Puppet Boy' comes from their debut album 'Rhino' and uses satirical biting humour to point the finger at the forces behind our empty-headed puppet rulers. The lyrics paint a picture of a 'boy' who is merely a servant of larger forces, whose masters put him on TV, tell him what to think, what to say and keep him in line by inspiring fear. Some tasty percussion, funky drumming and sexy baritone sax work complement the taunting vocals of special guest Amber Hines.Aurora - La Sombre De Un Alhelitheworldmusicplanet2016-06-13 | Track 7 'La Sombre De Un Alheli' (feat.
