The Ghanaian world musician Adjiri Odametey, born in 1963 in Accra and now living in Bavaria, released his fourth album called “Dzen” by africmelo records.

My first thoughts while I was listening to this amazing album: my soul travels far away.

The album “Dzen” demonstrates that the Ghanaian musician Adjiri Odametey has absulutely reached the top of African World Music. With his warm voice and heartful ryhthms he lets your soul travel through the different sounds of Ghana. Absolutely outstanding!

Wir und die Anderen – Das Interview (german)

Nachdem wir bereits das Album unsichtbar begutachten durften, gibts heute noch ein Interview der 8-köpfigen Ingolstädter Acoustic Hip-Hop Band Wir und die Anderen. Sehr sympathisch.

World Music: Was war euer größter Erfolg bisher?
Wir und die Anderen: Erfolg ist schwer zu messen, da wir uns so gut wie keine Ziele gesetzt haben.
Aber allein schon die Gründung der Band war ein Erfolg.

Was sind eure Lieblingsgetränke und Lieblingsessen?

Also das ist bei 8 Leuten natürlich sehr unterschiedlich aber da wir
bisher keinen Getränkesponsor haben, lautet die Antwort: Wasser.
Was das Essen betrifft: Die hälfte der Band lebt vegetarisch, is(s)t
ansonsten aber nicht wählerisch und überaus gerne.

German Electronic Music

A MUST READ POST!

In Germany, we have – as I could experience in the last months – very many great electro, techno and house musicians and bands. So I want to show you  three great bands; I still discovered many of them in 2012 in school. The three bands/musicians are Wankelmut, Oliver Koletzki and Nils Hoffmann.
