Product Description

Africa Remix is an exhibition that, for the first time, gathers contemporary art from the entire African continent. It is the largest exhibition of African art ever assembled in Europe. Artists from 25 countries, from Algeria to Zimbabwe, are represented, as well as African artists now living in Europe or North America. Through the works of 100 artists, unknown or recognized, Africa Remix reveals the various media of creation: painting, drawing, video, sculpture, installations, films, photographs, music, multimedia, and literature. The pieces are grouped around three themes: city/countryside, body/spirit, history/identity.

By	J. Lovins "Mr. Jim" (Missouri-USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Milan Records presents "Africa Remix: Contemporary Music of a Continent", featuring the collaboration between artists from 25 countries across the continent...the soul of this expression of their culture is heard loud and clear...from the beginning this power house of tradition sets you on your ear with a collective of identities that are fresh as the day they were first heard.

Enjoy the next 16 tracks in artists & song alphabetical order:

Great sounds from a new urban and local talent from the youth of the continent...entire album has a dynamic and multi-structured feel to it...melodies, musical instruments, rhythms have clearly had an impact on todays genres of jazz, blues and rock & roll...without this heritage of traditional music we would be empty...not a nice way to go through life...so on behalf of all music lovers around the world...thank you Africa!
