Playlist for 12.25.2008—Emmanuel Nado

Each week on Africa Mix we play a variety of African music emanating from all the corners of the African continent—each region with a variety of rhythms and distinct dance styles. As we witness today, a myriad of music and dance styles have sprung from around the African countries. On tonight’s program, I am featuring 6 different styles separately: Afrobeat, Mbaqanga, Kwaito, Rumba, Mbalax and Mandingue music.

ARTIST: Fela Kuti
SONG Funky Horn
COUNTRY Nigeria

Afrobeat is a blend of American jazz, funk and Nigeria beat. This style was created by Africa’s most outspoken artist, the late Fela Kuti in the early 70s. Many other African artists have since embraced this style as their own.

Rumba is the style which originated in Central Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The style was and still is the preferred dance style of the older generation because of its slow beat. The style is close to the Cuban son montuno.

Mandingue music is the name given to the traditional music of countries like Guinee, Gambia, Mali and part of Senegal. It is more indigenous to Mali than any of the other countries aforementioned.. It is a dinstinct sound easily recognized because of the powerful vocals of the singers who are called griots or praise singers, and the use of traditional instruments such as the kora ( a type of African harp), the balafon (a wooden-keyed xylophone) the tamana (talking drum) and the n’goni (a small guitar-like instrument). All these are used along with electric guitars, keyboard and drum kits giving Malien music its modern feel.
