All of the songs on the mix tape are incredible, but Cavern and A Man of Many Words are my favorites. The bassline in Liquid Liquid's Cavern (2:40 Mark-Out of control percussion), is sampled by Grandmaster Melle Mel and The Furious Five on their song, White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) .

L.A.'s LAZRtag whom we introduced last month have taken on R&B pop superstar Rhianna for some hot remix love. This is where top 40 meets bottom frequency. I love this track because it taps into a history of music: One of borrowing, sampling, reusing, reinterpreting—'Don't Stop the Music' employs Michael Jackson 's famous chant from his ' Thriller ' album 1983 single, ' Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' ', which was in turn was nicked from Manu Dibango 's 1972 track, ' Soul Makossa ', widely regarded as [...]
(photo credit: kathryn yu) Hello everyone. It's Friday again, which means that (much like Loverboy) we've been working for the weekend. On the calendar for this particular fin-de-semaine is The National and My Brightest Diamond at the BAM on Saturday, followed by WOMAN and The Big Disappointments at the eternally nasty Lit Lounge. It's going to be a busy night. Somewhere, beauty sleep is going to have to fit in the picture as well, because we're fine ladies. [...]
Manu Dibango: African Pop Session + Aphrodite Shake From African Voodoo (PSI, 1972) Ok - so people were asking about more top shelf records; here's probably one of the first ones I got my hands-on. I copped this - I kid you not - from a record store in the United Arab Emirates. Not in person but even for an interweb find, it was still rather remarkable, especially since it cost me $20, including shipping. (It typically goes for a little bit more ). [...]

Yet again, Rihanna has a hit on her hands. We've loved Don't Stop The Music for ages, and it's just starting to get lots and lots and lots of radio airplay (as it deserves!). Listeners might recognize the almost tribal chanting during the chorus: "mama se, mama sa, mama co sa". It's sampled from the bridge in Michael Jackson's 1983 hit Wanna Be Starting Something , the fourth single from the classic Thriller . Lesser known, however, is that Jackson took the bass line from another song, Soul Makossa , the [...]
Some music, and most great music, can't be easily classified, right? Accordingly, I find most attempts at describing Manu Dibango's unique blend of African and jazz influences completely unsatisfactory. Manu's output over the years has covered much terrain: early disco, African funk, jazz, electronic world music, soulful sax playing...all bringing together the black cultures of Africa, Europe, America and the Caribbean into one global sound. Visit his website . Ouana Di Lambo from La Fete A Manu [...]

Another toughie today, to some extent. Rather than look for something crazy and interesting today though, I think I'm going to head down the straightforward route and pick a well-known artist. Instead of Togo's biggest export ( Bella Bellow ) or the excellently named Jimi Hope (Joanna!), I'm going with maybe the third most well-known musical act in Togo, so maybe 'well-known' is stretching the definition a little... Saying this, I'm going to contradict myself again and say that King Mensah has received some serious international accolades over the last few years - variously described as [...]
