This Friday, Baobab owner / DJ Marco and our great friend Chief Boima are inviting BBRAVE to share the decks at one of the city, no, the country’s only African pop nights. Expect loads of coupé décalé, hiplife and some fresh kuduro from our trip to Angola. 3388 19th St @ Mission in San Francisco.
Lisbon, Portugal’s own DJ Mpula, host of the Radio Fazuma show, connects with the Akwaaba team to revisit the Angolan gems collected on Akwaaba Sem Transporte. Adding a dash of his own potent production, this mix is sure to get your body in motion. And sure to give Angolan kuduro new means of transportation, directly to your ears.
DJ Mpula, animateur de l’émission Radio Fazuma à Lisbonne, au Portugal, prend le contrôle des manettes pour revisiter la compile Akwaaba Sem Transporte. Il y ajoute un soupçon de sa propre production, ce qui donne un mix fortiche, qui a priori devrait faire remuer vos arrières-trains. Et permet à ce kuduro Angolais de se déplacer plus proche encore de vos oreilles.

O-Raj has been rockin’ the decks at Enterprise Fish Co in Santa Monica all summer long. After a first fun + successful collabo with Akwaaba’s BBRAVE at the Townhouse (ahhhh, the good ol’days) in Venice Beach last July, O-Raj is sharing the aquatic limelight again on Friday August 21, 9p – 2a, free, 21+. Africa meets discoland!
At last… Akwaaba unleashes a wild collection of bangers from Luanda, Angola. Some of the big names are on there, Puto Prata, Noite e Día, Zoca Zoca, but some new comers (Os Mais Potentes, Figura) and total newbies too (F4, Gelú-Six). The album is available for purchase in the iTunes store, and you can listen to it on Fairtilizer.
