Dama Do Bling

Thanks to Tropical Bass for pointing out this collaboration between Switzerland’s producer Pushking Noize and Dama Do Bling from Mozambique. It brought back this lady on Masalacism’s radar and it’s time for an update!

Dama do Bling – Champion (Prod. by Pushking Noize) by Pushking Noize

We really liked her track Mexer a couple years ago (along side the defunct Fat Planet) and sort of lost track of her productions since then. Well, she’s been building a strong career as the portuguese-speaking answer to empowering female MCs of the US rap game and JA’s badda badda gals; “I’m scandalous and irreverent” she says in interviews. Here’s a selection of her latest tracks. Thanks to the Estabater blog for updates on Urban artists from Mozambique and Portuguese speaking Africa.

Dama Do Bling – Danca do mexe remexe

Dama do Bling – Quando fazes assim

Dama do Bling – Hep Hep (Nasty Girl)

Dama do Bling feat Lizha James – Fat Chick

Marlene ft Dama Do Bling – Preta Negra (buy it on Itunes)

Late night music discovery from Kenya: Sauti Sol – Mara hio hio

I was listening to DJ Edu on 1xtra while working and heard a great song on his show and have done a couple of searches about it.

Sauti Sol and Muthoni the Drummer Queen (we already talked about here on Masala here) is part of the principal actors of this new sound from Kenya if I read this nice article in the Nairobi’s Daily Nation.

listen to the track here:

I’ve also found this reportage about what’s happening in Nairobi and the Penya and the new east african sound.

Muthoni the drummer queen

Un post rapide en pause de travail au sujet de Muthoni, une artiste du Kenya. Son nouvel album The Human Condition, plutot “fusion”, est sorti en fin d’année 2009. Ce morceau parcontre est assez intéressant.

Dalston Oxfam African mix

Dalston Shopper from the Dalston Oxfam Shop blog have been very nice to Masala one year ago saying we were THE HOTTEST MUSIC ON THE NET ! Well this is payback time ! Here’s a mix of african stuff Dalston did for the Diesel U Music radio. From funana, kuduro to coupé-décalé and some old congolese pop, this is the sound of his London African party called Manifesto.
