African Beats & Pieces 80's + 90's Obscure Gems & Mega Hits

★ African Beats & Pieces ★ is a monthly event series dedicated to the music of Africa and its diaspora. With a special focus on contemporary and lesser-known artists, we strive to showcase the diversity of sounds and songs the continent has to offer, doing so through theme-specific parties involving passionate diggers & DJs. ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ To wrap up a fun-filled year of events (this will be our 13th party of 2018!), we are going to indulge in some serious nostalgia... but we won't go too far back in time! No dusty vinyls here, we're talking about music that was released on these shiny compact discs known as CDs: yes, that magical double-decade of the 80's and 90's! 💿📀💿 Re-issue labels tend to focus on the 60's-70's, nerding out on that beloved "organic sound", but we think that these recent decades were also a truly blessed time for music: snares sounded bright and metallic, vocals where insanely drenched in reverb effects, sultry synths & drum machines simply ruled the world without mercy! 🎹 Bring your flashy fluo pants & your oversized jumper jacket to the dancefloor for a fine selection of Kwaito hits, Zouglou bangers, Rumba anthems, Funaná gems, Mbaqanga madness, Zouk barn-burners, High-life gold and sweat-inducing Makossa...& more! 💫🎶👍 We will explore a timeline stretching rom the Soweto Youth uprising all the way to Y2K! We strive to bring you here what the locals dance(d) to there! ♬ Come with an open mind & leave with sore feet ♬ Entry: 3€ before midnight / 4€ after midnight ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ♬ ► DJ Mixanthrope (France) | African Beats & Pieces https://soundcloud.com/djmixanthrope
