while staying in the same territory as NGOMA2, the journey is not the same, and many things make this one unique: the psychedelic motorik genius of Dj Clock\s \"Durban Guitar\"; the monolithic, earth shaking visions of Black Coffee; DJ Sdoko\s ominous Kraftwerkian phuture; Manya\s soul stirring take on traditonal Angolan melodies; a surprisingly wicked banger from the Dutch DJ Bigga (UK not only place currently Afro minded), and ending with Sami vocal style from Mari Boine, reinterpreting the sound of indigenous Norway*.
concerning the anti-apartheid and war samples used through out the mix: the struggle for freedom from colonialism is the context which gave rise to contemporary South African music: Kwaito was born amidst antagonism and bloodshed, and has led to the current house music scene. thus songs such as \"100 Zulu Warriors\" and the radio broadcast at the end should not be taken as an incitement of racial conflict (especially in light of last year\s wave of horrible xenophobia in SA) but as a reminder of the political realities of the Apartheid era which gave rise this music.
*you might think it strange to include a traditional song from northern Europe on an Afrocentric project, but 1. thematically it fits the recording as the vocalist has for decades fought for equal rights of her people, who have long been the subject of discrimination, like South Africans, in their homeland; and 2. Henrich Schwartz who made the remix is a producer certainly with a lot of Africa on his mind.
