Listen to the Ten Cities project on WNJR.
Between
Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 TEN CITIES project brought together producers
and musicians from five different cities in Europe ( Berlin, Kiev,
Bristol, Naples and Lisbon) to five cities in Africa (Cairo,
Johannesburg, Lagos, Luanda and Nairobi). All the musicians were invited
to collaborate and work together in sticky studios and blacked out
rooms across the African continent.
The project put
together about 50 producers and musicians from the ten cities selected.
Ten Cities attempts to try something new, while looking for common
ground it is also seeking to empathize the differences between the
genres brought together in this project. As a result hip-hop from the
squats of Naples, bass music from Bristol, experimental techno from
Berlin or jazz-tinged deep-house from Kiev are thrust upon the pumping
kuduro of Luanda, the free-thinking crackled electronica of Cairo,
afro-jazz from Lagos or the Sheng street-slang of Kenyan rap.
You can listen to all these great recordings on WNJR 91.7 FM.
