Listen now
Description
In this edition of our music show on arts24, Jennifer Ben Brahim is joined on set by one half of the Franco-Congolese duo Tshegue. Faty Sy Savanet and Nicolas Dacunha AKA “Dakou” burst onto the music scene in 2017 with their powerful blend of afropunk, rock, electro and funk. They are back with their third EP “Argent”, a call to arms to today’s youth. Faty Sy Savanet once again sings in her native Lingala, and references the important Kotazo cultural movement of Kinshasa in this latest record. We also shine a spotlight on an up-and-coming soul singer from London called Elmiene. The British-Sudanese artist has been compared to the likes of D’Angelo, and is set to release his debut album later this month. We also bring you some of the latest music releases from Bon Iver and Kylie Minogue.
