Interpreter: Janka Nabay & The Bubu Gang
Label: Luaka Bop
Location: Sierra Leone

The new wave of Afro-beat, here in the guise of bubu and directed by the 50-year-old Janka Naby and his gang of collaborators from Philadelphia, USA. Electronic percussion, cheese-flavoured keyboards, solid bass playing and hi-energy are the main ingredients, and young people from Sierra Leone to Liberia are currently participating in 'bubu bangers' every weekend.
