This mix takes you to the northwestern corner of Africa, starting deep with the spiritual chants of Maalem Hammam gnawa masters from Morocco and then into the vastness of the Sahran desert, to the tune of Tinariwen and other tamacheq musicians, with these classic guitar riffs... seamlessly this connects with Malian sounds, from desert blues to the magic of Sassouma Kouyate's kora... we then go back to Morocco with new Maghrebi house tracks from Omary and Ostwana label mates... I hope you'll enjoy the ride and discover new music along the way. Blessings to all the artists pouring their heart and soul into this music.

With Guest: Cortega is a co-founder of ElectrAfrique and he's been pushing pan-African dance music heat to global dancefloors for like 20 odd years... sounds crazy said like this, because his music is still supa fresh, drawing as easily from the latest piano drops as he does digging into ndombolo or kwaito classics... whatever's got heart, spice and makes your body move...
