El Highlife es una de las músicas más importantes de la historia de la Música Africana, y en especial de la música de los años 70 y 80 de Ghana y Nigeria. En esta sesión de DJ Tubabu recogemos un montón de temas actuales, la mayoría grabados en los últimos años, que muestran que el Highlife sigue vivo. Por una lado reunimos a algunos de los genios de los años 70 que han grabado en los últimos años (Ebo Taylor, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, Pat Thomas, Orlando Julius, Alhaji K. Frimpong). Músicos que actualizan el estilo siendo fieles a la música de los años 70 (Santrofi, Oliver Nayoka, Sollo7 and the Senku Band, Kodjovi Kush). Músicos nigerianos que se acercan al highlife desde el afrobeat (Bantu, Muyiwa Kunnuji, Wura Samba), y bandas que lo hacen desde el afrofunk ( Yaaba Funk, Konkoma, Vaudou Game, Jembaa Groove). También. bandas y músicos que fusionan distintas músicas africanas de baile, entre las que está el highlife, con electrónica y músicas urbanas (Pat Kalla, ONIPA, Nubiyan Twist, Kweku of Ghana, Koichi Sakai, Super Yamba Band). Otros proceden del reggae y del rap (Rocky Dawuni, Blitz The Ambassador, Seekaman). En fin, una sesión muy variada, colorida, enérgica y vibrante de lo que significa el Highlife en la actualidad dentro del panorama general de la Música Africana. Disfruta !!!

Van sits down with rapper, visual artist, and filmmaker, Blitz The Ambassador to talk about his Netflix movie The Burial of Kojo. They also talk about Blitz’s assimilation into American culture and how hip hop was his bridge to black culture when he grew up in Ghana.

It’s been 15 years since Blitz the Ambassador released his first record, Soul Rebel. Since then he has gone on to produce 7 additional albums, start his own independent label (Embassy MVMT), produce 2 short films, and produced the feature film The Burial of Kojo, which was released on Netflix on the 31st of March, with Ava DuVernay and ARRAY. 
This interview took place after he screened his film at the New African Film Festival this past March in Silver Spring, Maryland. It was great to sit down again with Blitz, 12 years after I first interviewed him for allAfrica.com in May 2007. Then, he was among the first generation of African MCs making their presence known on the underground scene in the US. In that interview we spoke about how Pan African his music was, and how lyrically, he blended elements of African and the Diaspora. His music has evolved into a showcase of African and Diaspora influences, including collaborations with artists from across Africa and the Diaspora. 
In this interview we again spoke about the Pan African perspectives and sounds that continue to be present in his music. Blitz attributes much of his outlook to his upbringing, the legacy of Kwame Nkrumah’s ideologies, and his experiences in the Pan African Studies Department at Kent State University. 
Blitz the Ambassador also talks about his experiences with the entertainment industry in the U.S., and how he has managed to maintain creative control over his music and film projects. In this sense, Blitz the Ambassador is vigilant about the integrity of his work, acknowledging the importance of representation, and of creating your own narratives. 
The two songs featured in the episode, “Hello Africa” and “Internationally Known”, as well as all of Blitz the Ambassador’s music, can be purchased here: https://blitzambassador.bandcamp.com

Blitz the Ambassador and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film The Burial of Kojo, African film making and story telling, magic and allegory, paradox, guilt, genetic memory and truthful moments. Trailer Streaming on Netflix, March 31st. Synopsis Through a magical realist lens, The Burial of Kojo follows the story of Esi, as she recounts her childhood and the tumultuous relationship between her father, Kojo and her uncle, Kwabena. Directed by TED fellow, music composer and musician Blitz Bazawule, the film chronicles the tale of two brothers through the gifted eyes of a young girl who transports the audience to the beautiful lands of Ghana and other worlds that exist between life and death.Born from a newspaper article and a Kickstarter campaign, Bazawule skillfully captures the beauty of a family, even when the circumstances aren't beautiful. The Burial of Kojo is an essential human story of courage and survival. The Burial of Kojo is a 2019 Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) Official Selection and 2018 Urbanworld Film Festival Best Narrative Feature Winner.A Note from the Director:It all began with a newspaper article I read while visiting family in Ghana two years ago. The text was bold and direct…."Galamsey Miners Buried Alive.” That headline stopped me dead in my tracks. For those unfamiliar with Galamsey, it's a local term for illegal gold mining, an extremely dangerous practice with little financial reward and irreversible environmental consequences. I became obsessed with understanding why young men and women risked their lives 30 feet underground, only to be paid a fraction of what the gold was worth. I visited the mining towns of Tarkwa and Prestea to do some research. The more I dug, the more apparent it became who really controlled the illegal gold mining industry in Ghana. Chinese companies assisted by local Chiefs really run the show, operating in the shadows while young local miners suffered all the risks and backlash. I knew immediately this was a story worth telling. However, I didn't want to focus on the obvious theme of victimization. I wanted to craft a narrative that was personal and intimate, giving the audience a glimpse into a Ghanaian family dealing with love, loss, tragedy, betrayal and sibling rivalry.Biography Blitz Bazawule is a Filmmaker and Musician born in Ghana and based in New York. Blitz's short films Native Sun and Diasporadical Trilogìa premiered at New Voices in Black Cinema and Blackstar Film Festival respectively. Blitz is also the founder of Africa Film Society, an organization focused on the preservation of classic African films. As a composer and musician, Blitz has released 4 studio albums, Stereotype, Native Sun, Afropolitan Dreams and Diasporadical. Blitz's feature directorial debut 'The Burial Of Kojo' premiered at Urbanworld Film Festival presented by HBO. Blitz is a TED Fellow and recipient of the Vilcek Prize.

Samuel Bazawule turned Blitz the Ambassador after he touched down on American shores after 18 years in Ghana. The mixing of cultural waters woke him up, and he now takes up all tools at his disposal. “We cannot underestimate any of the channels we have available to us,” he stresses, “We must fire on all cylinders.” Instead of allowing non-Africans to shape identity and understanding, he calls for “a new canon of African storytellers” engaging in “non-linear, complex” dialogue to reclaim and enrich African identities.

Empezamos el AfroClub presentando el último trabajo de Baloji, el rapero congoleño que nos sumerge en una obra compleja y conceptual, donde se pasea con facilidad por el soul, el funk, el rap y la electrónica, pero todo muy bien sustentado en sus raíces congoleñas, que podemos escuchar en las harmonías vocales y en los sonidos de la rumba presentes a lo largo de todo el disco. 137 Avenue Kaniama es simplemente una obra monumental de la música africana contemporánea, que destila modernidad por todos lados, con sabor añejo. Este disco nos ha recordado a otros raperos africanos arriesgados e innovadores, como el togolés Elom20ce con su fuerte discurso panafricanista concebido desde su profunda formación intelectual, y Blitz The Ambassador, con su reivindicación de los elementos comunes de la diáspora africana en todo el mundo, centrándose no solo en el arte y la música, sino que trata también de ir más allá, abarcando cuestiones políticas y sociales.En el programa de hoy rendimos homenaje a Janka Nabay, el mejor representante de la música bubu de Sierra Leona, que acaba de fallecer, y que nos dejó un gran disco el año pasado, donde fusionaba esta música tradicional con la electrónica. Hay más homenajes en este programa, porque nos hemos acordado también de Papa Wemba, una de las grandes figuras de la música africana de los últimos tiempos, que falleció por estas fechas hace un par de años. Recordamos su privilegiada voz y su capacidad para transmitirnos emociones cada vez que le escuchamos.Recuperamos a dos músicos importantes de la música africana, Omar Pene, una de las estrellas del mbalax, el frenético ritmo de Senegal, y a Zani Diabate, el histórico guitarrista de la Super Djata Band en los 70, que en su carrera en solitario siguió transformando los ritmos malinkés y bambaras.Para acabar esta edición del AfroClub, dos novedades muy interesantes. En primer lugar, Ayuune Sule, maestro del kologo, el instrumento de dos cuerdas que caracteriza la música frafra, del norte de Ghana, una música de la que últimamente nos están llegando propuestas muy interesantes, que modernizan este ritmo. Y la despedida de este programa la dedicamos a uno de los proyectos más intimistas que hemos oído en los últimos tiempos, la fusión de los sonidos de dos instrumentos con muchas semejanzas: la kora del senegalés Seckou Keita y el arpa de la galesa Catrin Finch. En su última colaboración, un disco llamado SOAR, podemos apreciar la gran cantidad de matices que tienen estos dos instrumentos, y escuchar sus distintas sonoridades.

The Bums review Blitz The Ambassador's 2009 album, "Stereotype", and introduce a brand new 'Conscious Scale' to the rating system.

Se acaba el 2017 y ha sido un año inmenso para la música africana, un montón de grabaciones que han llegado desde todas partes de África, y que nos demuestran el buen momento de creatividad por el que pasan los músicos africanos. Desde AfroClub, nos sumamos gustosos a esta moda de las listas, que a nosotros nos encanta, aunque queremos aclarar que la nuestra es solo una selección muy personal que incluye algunos de los discos de este año que más nos han gustado.Escuchamos a músicos muy conocidos y populares, que después de muchos años en lo más alto, siguen manteniendo su nivel creativo, como Oumou Sangaré, que en su último trabajo incorpora algunos elementos de electrónica a su música, pero sigue manteniendo la esencia de la música Wassoulou; Amadou & Mariam, con su sonido fresco y pegadizo basado en la música bambara; y también está Tony Allen, el maestro de la batería del afrobeat, que este año se ha salido de su registro habitual, firmando una obra maestra de jazz, un mundo musical en el que se siente especialmente cómodo.También ha sido un buen año para que viejos conocidos de los años 70 sigan grabando y demostrando que el talento se mantiene intacto a lo largo del tiempo. El maravilloso sonido de la Orchestra Baobab con su fusión única entre música africana y música latina, sigue vigente después de tantas décadas; y Gyedu Blay Ambolley, uno de los músicos de highlife de Ghana, que con más descaro se ha acercado al afrofunk.Y es curioso que este año ha sido el año en el que muchos músicos y bandas han grabado su segundo trabajo, un disco siempre difícil, en el que tienes que tratar de mantener o superar el nivel del debut, y si no sale bien, puedes defraudar las expectativas creadas y tardar un tiempo en levantar la cabeza. Pero nosotros hemos tenido mucha suerte porque todos han pasado la prueba sobradamente. Entre ellos, Moh Kouyaté que sigue con su pop malinké dando más protagonismo a su guitarra. Songhoy Blues que continúan explorando las músicas del desierto con una actitud más rockera, perceptible en el sonido de sus guitarras eléctricas. Mookomba que han vuelto a sus raíces explorando la música tradicional del pueblo shona, de donde proceden. También, Elida Almeida que se alza como una de las grandes voces de Cabo Verde y Jupiter con su cocktelera de músicas tribales congoleña junto a la rumba y ritmos occidentales como el funk y el rock, creando una de las propuestas más arriesgadas que nos viene del continente. Y también ha habido debuts interesantes, el de Kondi Band, fusionando el sonido tradicional de la mbira de Sierra Leona con electrónica, y ese proyecto maravilloso que ha sido el de Les Amazones d’Afrique que ha reunido a conocidas cantantes africanas en un proyecto con un importante mensaje político, reivindicando los derechos de las mujeres en África.Y en esta lista del 2017 se nos cuela el último disco del rapero ghanés Blitz The Ambassador, que en realidad es de finales del 2016, pero como tardamos un poco en escucharlo, ha entrado este año en nuestra selección, y lo hace porque es una de las obras más originales del rap africano de los últimos años, ya que incorpora a su propuesta el sonido de las guitarras y vientos del afrofunk de Ghana de los años 70. Esperemos que te guste esta selección. Por nuestra parte, ya estamos con las antenas puestas buscando la música africana del 2018 y pendientes de las cositas del 2017 que se nos han escapado.

Hoy empezamos con una de las figuras más innovadoras del rap africano, Blitz The Ambassador, que acaba de editar su cuarto trabajo, Diasporadical, con un discurso de fuerte contenido político, centrado en algunos de los problemas que unen a las personas de origen africano de todo el mundo. En lo musical, Blitz The Ambassador nos presenta una propuesta muy atractiva y sorprendente, reivindicando los sonidos africanos de los años 70, fundamentalmente de Ghana, su país de procedencia. Sus temas están llenos de riffs de guitarras y de vibrantes secciones de metales con sabor añejo. Seguiremos con más rap africano, con un músico de Malí llamado Mokobe, y recordaremos el disco que grabó hace unos 10 años, en el que colaboraron la flor y nata de la música africana. Escucharemos el tema que grabó junto a Salif Keita. Y en la misma línea de sonidos urbanos os presentaremos un interesante proyecto, Lyrical Afro, que ha surgido alrededor de La Tabacalera, el centro cultural de Lavapiés en Madrid. Ellos promocionan la cultura afro y la cultura urbana, y alrededor de dicho proyecto están surgiendo grabaciones de temas relacionados con los ritmos más modernos del continente. Os presentamos el afro-trap de Jazzo Blexx.Casi siempre en el AfroClub en algún momento nos vamos a los años 70, y hoy lo hacemos con el maravilloso sonido de las orquestas de Guinea. Escucharemos a la Bembeya Jazz National con la voz de Demba Camara, uno de los músicos más carismáticos de aquella época en todo el continente, y también, tendremos el sonido de influencia latina de Balla et ses Balladins.Habrá más novedades discográficas, con el último tema de Elida Almeida, una de las cantantes más destacadas de Cabo Verde. La Kanazoé Orkestra liderada por Seydu Diabate, un virtuoso del balafón que nos llevará a los sonidos mandinga de Burkina Fasso, y nos despediremos con la banda danesa Kutimangoes, que precisamente han viajado a este país africano para grabar su segundo trabajo, para añadir un fuerte sabor africano a su propuesta centrada en el afrojazz.

Une émission très spéciale ce mercredi puisque nous aurons le plaisir d’être ensemble pendant 3 heures, de 21h à minuit. A cette occasion, nous vous proposons un programme très riche avec plusieurs invités. LISA SPADA Que ce soit en solo ou en groupe (on l’avait reçu avec le projet Third Shot), Lisa Spada occupe la scène parisienne (voir européenne) depuis plusieurs années. La chanteuse n’a nulle égale pour véhiculer ses récits avec un éventail large de styles, de la soul au jazz en passant par le blues, le gospel ou la folk. Ne se contentant pas d’apparaitre dans des premières parties prestigieuses (Jamiroquai, Dwele, Mika…) et de collaborer avec beaucoup de monde, Lisa endosse la cape d’activiste avec la création du projet « Let’s Get Together » qui réunie les meilleurs chanteurs de la Soul française sur scène (New Morning, Trabendo). C’est donc forte de cette belle expérience qu’elle sortira (enfin) bientôt son premier album solo « Family Tree » dont nous avions découvert quelques extraits lors de sa récente première partie de Dwele au New Morning. De quoi nous mettre l’eau à la bouche et la folle envie de l’inviter dans l’émission ! MR PRESIDENT Mr President est une des nombreuses formations de Bruno Hovart aka Patchworks, multi-instrumentiste de génie et tête de gondole du label Favorite Records. Avec l’album « Hips Shaking », sorti il y a quelques semaines, il revient au projet qui avait attiré l’oeil et les oreilles des observateurs internationaux comme Okayplayer, Gilles Peterson ou encore Jazz FM. Si la pochette de ce nouvel opus un clin d’oeil clair au « sound of philadelphia », Mr President n’hésite pas à franchir les frontières de sa funk et de son disco de prédilection, en mettant un pied dans la pop music. Le résultat ne peut être que brillant, comme d’habitude, quand l’on connait la qualité de production du monsieur. C’est donc depuis son fief de Lyon que Patchworks répondra à nos questions de fans absolus. HORNDOGZ Si vous mélangez des anciens de la Malka Family avec un producteur qui bosse avec les cadors de la scène funky hexagonale, et que vous leur mettez des masques de chiens, vous obtenez les Horndogz. Eric «Shrizzadelic» Rohner, Gilles «C-Freak» Garin et Rico «Adiko» Kerridge forment un trio explosif qui vient de sortir l’album « #Wooof ». La section cuivres des Gréments de Fortune, backing band de Ardisson sur Canal+, continue à faire bouger les têtes avec tous les ingrédients qu’on aime dans la funk. plus particulièrement le P-Funk des Parliament/Funkadelic. Mais ils en oublient pas non plus d’y incorporer du hip hop pour pimenter le tout. A noter des invités triés sur le volet : Blitz The Ambassador, Bibi Tanga, Juan Rozoff ou encore Fred Wesley. HANGTIME RADIO SHOW La fin de saison arrivant à grands pas, il était également naturel de faire une dernière passerelle radiophonique avec le Hangtime Radio Show sur Radio Grenouille. Pour la dernière fois de l’année, Mars Blackmon nous fera profité de ses dernières trouvailles et nous racontera ce qui se passe de beau aux alentours de la cité phocéenne.

Samuel Bazawule AKA Blitz the Ambassador Hip-hop was the soundtrack for Samuel Bazawule growing up in Accra, Ghana; later, it gave him his own voice; today, performing as Blitz the Ambassador, he is using hip-hop to “give others a voice.” Blitz began his music theory “training” by memorizing raps and studying the masters Chuck D. (front man for Public Enemy), Rakim, and KRS-One. He immigrated, in 2001, and earned degrees, in business management and marketing. Blitz has released two full-length albums, Stereotype(2009) and Native Sun (2011); as visual accompaniment to the latter, he wrote and co-directed a short film of the same name, which he calls “a true representation of who I am.” Filmed in Ghana and scored with music from the album, it follows the wanderings of an orphan boy as he learns to be the master of his fate.  His musical collaborations include those with Grammy Award-nominated duo Les Nubians, JUNO Award-winning Shad, and Chuck D.. His proudest achievement, though, was the homecoming concert he performed with his full band in Accra in 2011, ten years after he left. Blitz has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “the future of African music.” WEBSITE: http://blitz.mvmt.com/ He is the recipient of a 2013 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Contemporary Music The Vilcek Foundation aims to raise public awareness of the contributions of immigrants to the sciences, arts, and culture in the United States. The Foundation was established in 2000 by Jan and Marica Vilcek, immigrants from the former Czechoslovakia. http://www.vilcek.org

JOHN GORKA AND ELIZA GILKYSON are considered two of the best contemporary Singer/songwriters touring today. These longtime friends recently teamed up with Lucy Kaplansky to form the super folk group Red Horse. The trio's self titled debut CD was released last year and it became an instant folk classic and a big hit with fans. JOHN GORKA is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who was raised in New Jersey and came out of New York City's Greenwich Village folk scene that produced such songwriters as Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin. His award-winning songs have been recorded and performed by such notable artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith and Mary Black. John has recorded eleven solo albums, six on Red House Records. His latest is So Dark You See. ELIZA GILKYSON is a politically minded, poetically gifted singer-songwriter, who has become one of the most respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles. The Grammy-nominated artist was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2006, she was recognized with 3 Austin Music Awards and 4 Folk Alliance Music Awards, one of which was for "Song of the Year" for her tune "Man of God." Her latest solo CD is Roses at the End of Time on Red House Records. BLITZ THE AMBASSADOR may seem like an unusual booking for WoodSongs at first glance. The Ghanaian-born, New York-based composer, and producer unleashes psychedelic Afrobeat colors and triple-time rhymes with a lightning-fast mind, the political boldness of Chuck D, and the sixth groove sense of Fela Kuti. All set to swirls of brass, distorted guitars, and the crackle and pop of old amplifiers. However, for his WoodSongs performance, Blitz will be performing a more intimate, stripped down set. Check out his video for "Remembering The Future" to see this talented artist in action as Michael welcomes the show's first hip hop artist and explores the genre's connection to folk music.

This is the FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of November 5, 2008 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul music, news and commentary. This week's commentary covered the final results in the U.S. Presidential Election with the overwhelming win by President Elect Barack Obama and it's emotional and historical meaning to both the Black American Population, overall American Population and Worldwide Hip-Hop Generations by both it's numbers and impact.
