I'd love to see Richard Siegal's dance show that alva noto's Noh influenced HYbr:ID III score was commissioned for, but when its inspiration is Shuudan koudou - synchronized precision walking, I guess all preconceptions of a dance show & music should be left at the door.

Some of my most memorable concerts have been with African artists & I have no doubt that Afla Sackey & Afrik Bawantu would leave you sweaty & smiling at one of their shows. The Ghanaian singer & djembe player's new album for Wah Wah 45s is an uptempo fusion of classic Afrobeat grooves & his highlife roots, delivered by a seriously tight ten piece London ensemble. Couple that with unfailingly positive messages that shine bright in the 2024 slackness & it's a heart warming, if possibly hip worrying fusion. https://www.theslowmusicmovement.org/blog/afla-sackey-afrik-bawantu-destination-wah-wah-45s For more global music adventures take a trip through the Slow World Playlist: https://www.submithub.com/link/slow-world-playlist #Ghana #Afrobeat #African #music #highlife #slow #music #independent #artist

Apart from last week's Tusk II LP the ambient Americana world's been sleeping a bit recently. Well SUSS are back to help remind everyone how great the sound is, & it appears that there has been a shower or two over the cosmic plains. Some green shoots have emerged from long dormant seeds & the air is that bit fresher, injecting some cautious optimism into those long, inevitably introspective, horizon chasing trips. https://www.theslowmusicmovement.org/blog/suss-birds-beasts-northern-spy Find SUSS adding some twang to the Slow Ambient sound bath: https://slow-ambient-playlist.sbmt.to/ #slow #music #Americana #ambient #electroacoustic #country #cosmic #NewYork
