Awesome Tapes From Africa Launches Label

After five years of spreading world music to the masses, Awesome Tapes From Africa is finally launching a label. Starting this October, ATFA will re-issue select recordings to hold in your very own hands. Kicking off with an album from Malian singer Nâ Hawa Doumbia called La Grande Contatrice Malienne Vol 3, the label plans to distribute LP, CD, and MP3 formats via SC Distribution-- with 50% of the profits going to the artists (yes!). --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones, MP3 via 27 Leggies
