Revised lineup for the NYC 8/22 date has Lauryn Hill back in the mix and adds Death Grips and SZA to go with Grace Jones, Kelis, Danny Brown, Suicidal Tendencies, Adia Victoria and Lion Babe.
That's what's up.

This mix wasn't planned as "an Afropunk mix," but I'd say by virtue of many of the artists represented having been part of Afropunk festivals in the past/present, it's at least Afropunk in spirit. Really exciting music. Hope you'll dig it:

From the Paris festival which finished yesterday, a new duo called Tshegue have made a great EP:
First video by them:

- http://pan-african-music.com/en/new-video-tshegue-muanapoto
Shot in Abidjan, capital city of The Ivory Coast, the striking new video harnesses the primal energy of ‘Muanapoto’s kinetic drumming loops, beneath the no-f*cks-given attitude of French-Congolese frontwoman Faty Sy Savanet’s rhymes, to articulate a story which is actually about silence and isolation. Speaking about the film, which tracks a profoundly deaf and mute young girl negotiating her way out of a world devoid of sound, Argentinian directors Pantera say; “From the moment we first heard ‘Muanapoto’ we knew we wanted to make something that did justice to its insane rhythm and trance feeling. ‘Muanapoto’ speaks for African immigrants in Europe who upon arrival are forced to deal with the unknown, surrounded by new customs, foreign languages, different food and climate, all of which can lead to feelings of alienation. Muanapoto also feels like a release, a letting go, and that translates to the girl in our video, who feels the need to express something and is able to do so through dance and her body.”
