![Album Review: Auntie Flo – Radio Highlife [Brownswood Recordings; October 2018]](http://www.rhythmpassport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/auntiefloradiohighlife-335x256.jpg)
Brian d’Souza is a Glaswegian-born DJ, musician and producer of both Goan and Kenyan descent, who spent seven years travelling far and wide to places such as Uganda, Cuba and Norway. As Auntie Flo, d’Souza created Radio Highlife – released on 12th October 2018 via Brownswood Recordings – that can...
![Album Review: Kel Assouf – Black Tenere [Glitterbeat Records; February 2019]](http://www.rhythmpassport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blacktenere-cover-335x256.jpg)
Kel Assouf are a rocking inter-global trio, whose roots fuse from West African Sahara to European Belgium and beyond. They sit comfortably in the Tuareg musical character, moulded by trailblazers Tinariwen, but with this new release, they burst through and breakdown musical barriers, roaring rock’n’roll, as well as spiritually meditative...
![Album Review: Fofoulah – Daega Rek [Glitterbeat Records; November 2018]](http://www.rhythmpassport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fofoulahcover-335x256.jpg)
No matter what your final verdict on Daega Rek is, (Fofoulah’s new album released by Glitterbeat Records), what you can’t deny is its originality and unorthodoxy. The second work from the London-based band is more than able to bewilder, confuse and stupefy its listeners thanks to its unrestrained approach, but...

It happened a few days ago now, but when great men (and musicians) pass away, you always need some time to digest the news. That happened to us, as we were and still are Oliver Mtukudzi’s mere fans and supporters. However, for the people of Zimbabwe, Tuku’s death has been...
View Edna Martinez bio here A musical selection by Edna Martinez related to her LatinArab project. “LatinArab is a DJ-set by Edna Martinez (Colombia) with live percussion by Romeo Natur (Germany / Palestina), both living in Berlin. This show is a melting pot of Oriental, Tropical, Afro-Caribbean, ancestral music and organic...
If, on the one hand, we’re pretty sad about the closure of another nice London independent music venue like Ghost Notes – on the other, we feel the need to bless the birth of Supreme Standards, a brand new music platform aimed to support and expose “the best new UK and international jazz, funk, soul and...
Don’t call him a drummer. Despite being one of the best on the music scene and still “setting the tempo” for generations of musicians who look at funk, jazz, beat (with the ‘afro’ prefix in front of them), Tony Allen doesn’t fully agree when you define him as a drummer....
German musician Hendrik Weber, aka Pantha du Prince, explores the world of ‘layered and cinematographic’ techno, as described with own words. As he brings childhood memories into craft, and experiences the humanistic nature of anthropology, biology, and Sufi mysticism, the music builds strong intentions and they speak through what technology...
We left Vels Trio a few months ago, after an electrifying set during Ealing Jazz Festival, and we’ll meet them again in a few days’ time at another jazz festival in the British capital. This time, the prog and electro-jazz trio from Brighton will perform in North East London during North...
The three rooms over two floors proffered at the (thrice) monthly discotheque – South London Soul Train – offer a specific selection of funky, groovy, brassy and soulful music. For me, it’s a go-to event where you can certainly find space to dance and “let go” in a happy and upbeat...
In a time of unrest for one of the most historic countries in the world, music and arts have kept Mali connected to its past. Bassekou Kouyate, one of the great ngoni players, answered some of our questions on his musical heritage, the power of music and what he hopes...
By now, you’d already know that we don’t like charts, ranks or hierarchies. So, of course, we have compiled a list of our favourite albums of the year (next to songs and videos), but more than a ranking, we prefer to call our choices a “music guide to 2018”. To...
