Sun-El Musician's Africa to the World Mix

It takes a village to raise a child. It takes (at least) a good network of friends to cultivate his/her taste in music. I’ve been lucky enough to hobnob with the likes of JaBig in my high school days and when he took to house — South African in particular — I took notice and became more receptive. I’ve also been exchanging music with several trusted ears, including the homie Sen who introduced me to the wonders of Sun-El Musician — see here and here.

Sun-El Musician released his debut album earlier this year and it’s glorious! The knack for matching sounds with vocals (and!) subject matter is impressive. The good folks at OkayAfrica were a bit more verbose in conveying their enthusiasm for this gem. To compensate, let me offer this mix below (from Sun-El Musician himself) that features a few songs from the album.

I’ll dedicate this to the homie Faisal, who has an unmatched exuberance for this type of music. (Oh yes, give him money!)

I wrote as kid. (I'd die if you'd ever get your hands on those poems.) And I wrote as a teen. (We thought our raps would spearhead revolution.) I write these days to share my joys and perspectives. I am as subjective as they come. I found a bunch of blessed souls that are just as expressive. And Africa is all the better for it. (I think I never really changed.)
