Outhere Records

Label for African music. Born out of a passion for the culture of today. Always excited to find out what Africa will sound like tomorrow. There was work to do.

It is now 10 years of exploring urban Africa. Countless trips to the urban centers of Africa including not only Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Dakar or Jozi but also remote places such as Asmara the capital of Eritrea or Lusaka in Zambia. Soon we felt that the unknown side of Africa was not its exotic traditions but the booming urban scenes on the continent. How come not a single kwaitostar from South Afr

ica had an album out internationally. How come the international music market ignored the most popular music styles Africa was dancing to: Kwaito, Bongoflava, Hiplife, Afrohouse, Coupe Decaller … you name it. Work that took us to meet Jo’burgs kwaito cats, into the Bongoflava world of Dar es Salaam, the jungle of Lagos‘ Ajegunle where stars like 2 Face were born or the Hiplife scene of Accra. We celebrated Urban Africa with concerts and tourprojects featuring the likes of Mzekezeke, Bongomuffin, D’Banj, P*e Froiss, Daara J, African China & many many others. Putting out compilations that introduced urban styles such as Bongo Flava, Afrohouse, Senerap & Naija hiphop to an audience outside of Europe. The new urban music world was growing in Africa – but the rest of the world was just waking up to this new sound. We ended up sitting in a stretch limo end of the 90ies driving down Champs d’Elysee with Magic System. They had just dropped their major hit premier Gaou. In London to the Stratford Rex had 2Face take the stage playing his first show outside of Nigeria. The journey of Outhere records took a new direction in 2006. It happend in a Pizza restaurant in Bamako. Bassekou Kouyate gave a relaxed early evening gig together with the likes of Kassemady, Lassana Diabate and other star of Malian music – together with Westafrican music scholar Lucy Duran it was decided on the spot to record the international debutalbum of Bamako‘s king of the ngoni. The result was ‚Segu Blue‘ an album that became one of the world music successes of 2007. With three albums under his belt Bassekou Kouyate and his band have played everywhere from Mexico to Japan, to New York Central Park, Carnegie hall or Royal festival hall. The band has collected numerous awards, a Grammy nomination and has appeared 2 times on BBC‘s Jools Holland show.

Check out Santrofi’s newest single “Amina” brings you the raw energy of Highlife.

With „Amina“, Santrofi announces their upcoming album, ‚Making Moves‘ - a vibrant mix that dives deep into raw Highlife grooves while also introducing a fresh vibe of funk-driven dancefloor bangers and soulful songs, reflecting on life, which is „not always easy.“

🎤 Emmanuel Ofori on “Amina”:
“Back in the day, when we were kids, there used to be this game with two girls clapping and singing these words: Amina shɛ me atare, Me nshɛ, Adɛn ntia, Taylor wɔ hɔ, Ɔbɛpam ama me. We thought the best way to bring our childhood into today’s life is to put melodies in there, add some rhythms, and make music out of it.”

🔊 Listen now on all major streaming platforms. And get ready for the album this October!

Zizobuya is about female empowerment.

If a husband treats you bad: „bring the cows back!“ 🐄
