Podcast: Radio Mukambo #497 – Future Sound of Afrobeat

This week Radio Mukambo only serves afrobeat. Some sounds you’ll recognize as afrobeat, others may be what the future of afrobeat will sound like. Which is the case for Tony Allen‘s posthumous album “There Is No End”, more hiphop than afrobeat, except for the drumming, of course! The master drummer invites the new generation of rappers to lay their rhymes on his drum patterns.

The compilation “Republicafrobeat Vol. 5 Mujeres II” by DJ Floro from Spain focusses on the female voices in today’s international afrobeat scene, including some very nice rappers.

Somewhere in between, DJ Mukambo serves some of his favourite crossovers of afrobeat and hiphop culture, dancefloor killers.
