AFRICA 70, West Africa Part 1 + 2

Before cruising again towards uptempo afro-caribbean music I had the chance to compile my personal selection of 70s West African music. I have to say thank you to my friend Karl Bruckschwaiger, aka Dr. Boutros B, who always brought amazing music “con sabor” from Africa to our regular DJ nights. Starting in the 90s on legendary Viennese venues like Mareks Garage, Plankdon or Club Hrabal and later in my live radio shows on Orange 94.0 (Ich bin ein ganz normaler Tag) and Superfly.fm (Caliente and Toda La Semana, Vienna FM 98.3). I am always grateful when Boutros B joins the show to share his love, taste and knowledge of African music. At SABROSO our regular club at the Espresso Karl is always in the place to spin a great original or finally reissued African vinyl: Every last Thursday of the month, Burggasse 52, Wien 7.

Enjoy two sets with music mainly of Guinea, Senegal, Mali, Haute-Volta (Burkina Faso) and Benin.
