It begins a bit darker in the shade this time and with almost half the mix originating in Africa, it's worth quoting the ever-wise words of Mr. M, "The curious beauty of African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad tale." There are definitely some darker shades of soul in this mix, but it's not all shadow. Shafts of reggae, latin, horns and jolliness do creep in. There's psychedelic-inspired African Zam-rock, Onyeabor's synth and the usual mottled, souly patches of light and shade.
