Nado presents


Nado Presents

Join me on this edition of Africamix when Ethiopian/American singer/songwriter Meklit Hadero will be my guest . Since the release of her American debut album, on a day like this… she’s been performing all over .And while her music is like a sponge soaking up influences from all over the world, in some ways she is the perfect embodiment of the City by the Bay.

About Akwaaba Music:

"Akwaaba is a platform for African pop culture. We feature info and music by locally established yet globally isolated artists, regardless of musical style or genre. At our core is an eclectic catalog of African music, ranging from acoustic and traditional sounds to club bangers.The scope of music in Africa is staggering. Our catalog reflects and spreads this wealth, in a simple, straight-forward way. Akwaaba offers a fair and simple deal: we share our net revenue 50-50 with licensees, and sign directly with the artist whenever possible. We do all the work to spread the music worldwide. We distribute, license, manage and represent the artists. The internet allows us to directly share the music and the journey with increasingly curious and socially-aware fans. Our trips to Africa are meticulously documented on the site: how we found the music, the story behind an artist or a music scene, tidbits about local culture and trends. Videos, sound bites, photos and words to share this first-hand experience with you, enjoy!"

Benjamin selects from the Akwaaba catalog, including fresh tunes just gathered from his trip.

Conversation with Sila, MC Rai and MJ Greenmountain.

Sila sings of the African experience: the problems he and many others face every day, in a language understood throughout the world. His lyrics and beats reflect the music, the language, the energy, and the spirit of growing up in Africa. Winner of NAACP 2010 Image Awards for "Outstanding World Music Album" and the 2009 SF Weekly Music Awards for "Best International Act" he is my guest on this edition of Africamix to speak of a benefit concert for the Iraqui children at The San Francisco Warfield featuring Cheb I Sabbah, Kristina Nekyia, DJ Pheeko.
