Made in Africa

By
Sean Jacobs

I’m in the suburbs of Toronto this weekend and I go to bed early nowadays (my one year old gets up at 6am), but for those in New York City tonight, go check out the monthly Made in Africa Party with Boima (remember he is also an accomplished DJ) and Lamin Fofana at CAFE NUNEZ at 240 W. 35th Street (between 7 & 8th Avenues) tonight (10pm onwards). They’re featuring DJ Sirak from the New York-based Africology crew. Boima tells me that this will be the last time he’ll be playing until September as he’ll be off to West Africa for the summer on school business (so go see him), but they’ve got other guess DJ’s lined up in his absence to keep things moving till then.

Kenya’s vibe shift

From aesthetic cool to political confusion, a new generation in Kenya is navigating broken promises, borrowed styles, and the blurred lines between irony and ideology.

After the uprising

Years into Cameroon’s Anglophone conflict, the rebellion faces internal fractures, waning support, and military pressure—raising the question of what future, if any, lies ahead for Ambazonian aspirations.
