Afropop Worldwide, The number one African music radio show in the US, but also a multi-speared organization constantly pushing the sounds of Africa, recently did a feature on Akwaaba on their show, and also picked 3 of our artists(Bradez, Alassane Sy and Rose Dede Tetteh) among their Under the Radar 2009 selection!
Aly Kourouma, aka DJ Ndebele, has been a great supporter of Akwaaba’s music and work. He designed the poster for the Liberation Beat event we did together back in the fall in Santa Barbara. He’s also been designing some beautiful screen prints and creating his own art, all of which will be available for your viewing pleasure at his upcoming show Saturday February 28 at the Agape Center in Culver City.
