After posting some of my old mixes, it is time to get you in touch with some of the newer musical stuff I am into right now, to let you know in which direction the musical journey is heading.
Check out this wonderful mix "World Up Vol.1" by Maga Bo, an early ambassador promoting a worldwide vision of bass music. Somewhere in between Hip Hop, Dancehall, Baile Funk, Kwaito, Kuduro ... from South Africa, Brazil, Jamaica, Somalia, USA, Senegal, UK, Puerto Rico, Canada ... he calls it Transnational Bass some call it Tropical Bass, just listen to it ... (and for the portuguese speaking people: pay attention to the lyrics of Duda do Borel)
Maga Bo did this mix for World Up a NGO merging a global vision of Hip Hop and social engagement. Taken from their homepage:
"World Up is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about international politics, and issues that affect the global community through Hip-Hop and socially progressive culture. Since our fruition in 2004, we have been fostering diversity, cross-cultural understanding, and social change with educational programming and events, like our music festivals and conferences. Helmed by a diverse set of volunteers, we are united by a deep love for music, and our faith in its power as a tool for social and political change."
