JUST A BAND’S LEGENDARY
‘AFRICA IN YOUR EARBUDS’
MIXTAPE
There are more than 30 editions of Okayafrica’s mixtape series ‘Africa In Your Earbuds‘ now. Today I would like to share with you my most favourite version of all time, which was created by the Kenyan masterminds Just A Band (who have recently released their third studio album ‘Sorry For The Delay‘). The mix is a legendary compilation of pieces of Just A Band’s DJ Sets as well as rare diamonds of African classics (Makossa by Sam Fan Thomas) or contemporary African music (Afro-House by DJ Cleo).
The right treatment for Friday night!
