Bantu - Fuji Satisfaction: Soundclash in Lagos
Adé Bantu's musical collective Bantu is the NiGerman Brotherhood Alliance Navigating Towards Unity. A pioneer of the German HipHop movement from the start, Adé is among the central figures who have shaped the genre as it is in the country today.Born to a German Mother and a Nigerian Father in England, then relocated in Cologne/Germany in recent years, his spicy AfroPean stew is a natural blend of the most converse elements of both continents' traditions. Drawing from his forefathers' roots and his experience of the African diaspora alike, he uses the variety of urban styles and sounds from R'n'B through HipHop to Ragga to contribute another shade to the soundtrack of a global Africa: profoundly rooted in Yoruba history yet dripping with Western production standards, deeply sensual yet utterly spiritual, thoroughly individual yet highly political.
