World Town
You'd really like this blog zoe. The guy who writes it, Maga Bo is a cool tripper. He's originally from the US, but he pretty much is in every country all the time. I think he especially likes the african nations and the south americas. He's into all kindsa trippy world music, like a whole lot of styles. I remember i was getting into his stuff in a big way a couple of years back, following a lot of his mixes and stuff. He'd go thru lots of tempos, countries sounds, genres, he helped get me into baile funk actually. That's right, that's how i got into him. I was researching baile funk (ps, most of that writing is compiled by me, some is original, but i mostly read other stuff and put together all the important bits. probably badly cited it all too), and his name popped up in a couple of mixes, so i downloaded a few more.
Basically what he does, is travels round to all these random countries, and goes hardcore. He doesn't pussy foot around the eiffle tower if you know what i mean. He goes all rural, like to tribes and stuff, and really experiences the culture. While he's there, he takes his laptop, and makes beats and DJs places. He like collaborates with artists from all these different trippy countries. I'm writing about him because he's very inspiring, and i expect you would find him just as inspiring. I mean you gotta admire that right? what a life. Just travelling, tripping, creating. I'm sure he ain't making that much at all either, but he's making enuf to get himself to the next country. Are the acceptance of having a life with little monetary gain-sounds alright too me, maybe that's cause i'm a spoilt private school boy tho. But meh, i think i can handle being happy with constantly creating, and making jack shit from it. Of course i'm gonna make millions tho and take over the world cause i'm like the best thing that's hit grass since water. HAH! yeh it's fun to hype...
Anyway, check the blog, read this post first. I just did, it's interesting, and where the picture above comes from. He has a whole lot of mixes scattered thru his website. Dunno how many you can download, you can at least stream them.
Oh P.S. isn't this like the best song of the MIA album? It's also relevant to this post. But i'm obsessed with it, and most of the other songs too, but especially this one. I'm totally playing it tomorrow, if you're not there, but you turn up later on, it's getting a rewind. BOIM SELEKTA! It's so easy to do a little hand dance to the chorus.
Hands up! Guns out! Represent! The world town!
