Guest Post: Awesome Tapes From Africa

Awesome Tapes From Africa says:
Another gifted vocalist/n'goni ninja piques my interest. Please go ahead and add Diakari Dia Diakite Dit Dia and his Sadjona cassette to the burgeoning pot of gold recently collected by new releases from Drag City subsidiary Yaala Yaala. Hunters' music from the South of Bamako, Mali is apparently all the rage in 2010, and I am not mad.

MP3: Diakari Dia Diakite Dit Dia: "Sadjona"

Brooklyn-based music blog Awesome Tapes From Africa was founded in April 2006, and regularly features complete downloads of cassettes from all eras and all regions of Africa. It's worth a visit for the amazing artwork scans alone.
