Africa is a Country

Western-based DJ’s/amateur music lovers who travel to African cities, do the hard lifting–finding obscured or neglected music–then posting that music on their blogs (where I can access it) and in the process often resurrecting dormant careers (that’s some of the musicians) as well as building their own cred (and careers) in the process (that’s the blogs), got recently profiled in the Village Voice.

Some of the blogs are my favorites like Likembe and Awesome Tapes from Africa.
