DJ, producer and music lover Tahira is one of Sao Paulo’s hardest working and highly esteemed DJs and music collectors. Whereas most diggers of Brazilian music tend to gravitate towards regional takes on American funk & soul, Tahira squares in on the country’s rich musical lineage as part of the greater African diaspora, with a pronounced emphasis on African rhythms. Tahira connects the dots between the country's rich musical history, carving out an alternate trajectory for black Brazilian culture that values afrofuturism over copycat funk/soul aesthetics.

This Bandcamp Friday's shopping list had been long enough before. But when I noticed M. Foujita, whose huge and versatile collection contains many many gems, bought a whole bunch of these compilations, I had to check what these French compilations are about. Well, they are about Frenchies playing world music and I liked every song I clicked on :-)
As the list was that full, I only bought this one, mais je veux bien retourner! Carsten Pieper
