Podcast: Radio Mukambo #452 – Cross-Cultural Grooves

This week, Radio Mukambo highlights two cross-cultural projects highlight: Lokkhi Terra, gapping the bridge between India and Cuba, and Dub Colossus, putting the dub into Ethiopian music. “CuBangla” is the sixth album by London fusionistas Lokkhi Terra, a great slice of bangla-afro-Latin-jazz-roots.

We listen to a nice Maga Bo remix of a Bomba Estereo classic, more dub made in Beljam & Guadeloupe and get a taste of Roforofo Jazz ++ discover Fanga, one of mainland Europe’s first afrobeat band, as part of the daily afrobeat stories you can catch on Global Afrobeat Movement.
