Man Snipa, dj G-Town's bongo flava, Rich Medina

Young Tanzanian reggae singer Man Sniper (also spelled Mansnipa or Mansnepa) has been working with Dutch reggae group the Rootsriders to record his first album. In November 2008 he visited the African hip hop radio studio together with Cyril from the Rootsriders, where he spoke about his music and did a little freestyle. Then there’s an interview we recorded with Rich Medina at BASS festival in UK in June 2008.

The show also features a report by the late Angel Wainana from Ghetto Radio in Nairobi about the refusal of members of parliament to pay taxes. Also in the studio: Tanzanian dj G-Town who lives in Rotterdam. In the 3rd hour he took over from dj 360 to do a mix of Bongo flava and other East African music.

Note: this show was recorded for the Dutch edition of African hip hop radio. Presentation is in Dutch, the interviews are in English (and Swahili). Also, the last few tracks of the 1st hour are not part of the African hip hop radio playlist (see below), they were added because of a technical failure at the studio…
