Awesome Tapes from Africa

The myriad sounds of the African continent

Brian - Awesome Tapes from Africa - Shimkovitz has been discovering, collecting and sharing the myriad sounds of the African continent via a cassette archive since 2006.

At Port Eliot we have him appearing twice: firstly chatting with Emma Warren about his travels in search of great, lost music and later, as darkness creeps in, taking it to the dancefloor. Expect a mind-boggling set of South African synth-pop, Somalian disco and dance music from Mogadishu.
