Analog Africa label founder plays Somalian disco

Max Reinhardt is joined by Samy Ben Redjeb, the founder of the Analog Africa label, who shares vintage disco from Somalia and off kilter pop from the Ivory Coast.

Max is joined by Samy Ben Redjeb, the founder of the Analog Africa label. Analog Africa celebrates and shares vintage music from across the continent, and Samy brings in some favourite tracks that inspired him to start crate-digging in the first place. His selections include 80s Somalian disco outfit Dur-Dur Band, and Ivorian musician Ernesto Dj茅dj茅, who pioneered the ziglibithy style that was popular in the country in the 70s.

We鈥檒l also be airing some low slung, New Orleans rock n roll from the Cramps record collection, alt-folk from Manchester duo The Breath and the sound of the gyil, a wooden xylophone from Ghana, via London based jazz band Vula Viel.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
