A trip to the music cultures of an entire continent: after a stint in Ghana researching the local hip-hop movement, Brooklyn‘s Brian Shimkovitz has accumulated hundreds of cassette tapes of rare African music from Zimbabwe to Ethiopia to Senegal. He has been sharing his bounty through his popular blog "Awesome tapes from Africa" – and he takes these tapes on the road as a DJ. He is accompanied by Black Fox Tropikal who combines African and Carribean music styles with contemporary pop.
