Juma Nature – Nini Chanzo?
Harry from Manchester sent me a package of tapes from Dar-Es-Salaam recently with a note saying he hoped they reached me. Dear Harry: they reached me, and all three Tanzanian rap cassettes are pretty chill. THANKS.
So here’s some Tanzanian bongo flava from the early aughties, the debut recording from Juma Nature. If you’re into African rap, this is a pretty epic tape. Why do I love old school rap from Africa so much? Things have developed across the continent such that these tapes make me feel like I’m listening to Masta Ace or Rakim, kinda out-dated-sounding but so undeniably groundbreaking and jammin.

Finally…you’re coming to Berlin (or maybe this time I noticed). Really looking forward to dancing to the tunes you’re going to play.
All the best,
