Paris DJs Soundstem - African Mashed Potato Popcorn Vol.8

Paris DJs Soundstem - African Mashed Potato Popcorn Vol.8 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-02-27 Lay down, close your eyes, and prepare yourself to travel from the USA to Nigeria, Togo and Europe with a 30mn rainbow of African soundscapes. Heavily featured here is Adrian Quesada who's been baffling us in 2008 with his afro-latin productions with Martin Perna (Antibalas) as Ocote Soul Sounds, as well as with his latin band Grupo Fantasma... We also love the Lighting Head album - you might remember the man from his dubbed Rockers Hi-Fi records or under his Biggabush alias... Completing this mix are rarities from Analog Africa, from Kon and Amir on BBE, french library stuff and a well-titled King Sunny Ade track. Tracklisting : 01.
