Seasons Change : Four Corners - Africa

With the ownership of land and culture being at the forefront of some leader's minds right now, we’ve decided to concentrate on territories for our Seasons Changes mixes this year. To create a quartet of offerings, we’ve gone back to the old concept of the Four Corners of the Earth, with our corners consisting of Africa, The Americas, Asia and Europe. We’ve racked our brains as to how we’ll divide up the countries of the World, but it’s a much more anodyne process than that which took place in Berlin in 1884, Cairo in 1921 or Yalta in 1945.

This first selection takes us to the cradle of civilization, Africa. We hope to share with you music directly from the continent, music influenced by the continent, and the threads of culture that weaved into the multi-lingual countries that the African diaspora have spread out to under the steam of their own volition, and through the threat and receipt of violence by their colonial oppressors.

Happy Equinox! x
