Africa is a Country: Chief Boima with Folarin Ajibade // 28-01-22

Africa Is a Country Radio continues its literary theme for its third season on Worldwide FM. This month we have a very special guest mix from Folarin Ajibade, a DJ who is now based in Brooklyn, NY but originally from Lagos, Nigeria.

Folarin presents a mix of classic Kwaito from South Africa inspired by the book Kwaito Bodies by Xavier Livermon to Africa Is a Country. Since it kept with our theme of music inspired by literature inspired by music, we decided to have our first guest mix on the show. Listen in to hear Folarin’s mix and a discussion about his journey as a DJ and academic. We kick off the show with a short exploration of the latest musical craze to come out of South Africa, Amapiano.
