Veamos entonces una selección muy personal de algunos de esos nombres importantes en el mundo del reggae post-Marley. Como dice el titulo, la idea es elegir a aquellos artistas que hayan seguido sacando nuevo material, por lo que quedan afuera grossos [...]

There are some places that politics doesn’t belong, and this site tries to be one of them, even though Lusophone music tends to have strong political connotations (Azagaia, MCK, the strong musical independent movement in Angola and other Portuguese ex-colonies in the ‘60s and 70s). But sometimes it’s hard to be impervious to such an affront to democracy and good governance. During the ongoing CAN championship Angola’s state party approved a new constitution which strips us of the right to directly elect our next president in a free and fair election; rather, the president will be elected during the legislative [...]

It's news stories like this that jump out at me and remind me about the power of music. Tiken Jah Fakoly is a very popular reggae artist in Africa. He's also very outspoken and apt to speak his mind - qualities that those in power aren't too fond of in western Africa (and the rest of the world for that matter). Tiken was born in Côte d'Ivoire, but makes his home now in Mali. Since the early 90's, his brand of politically and socially active reggae has made him an icon to the oppressed [...]
