Fortunately there&#8217;s MTV Iggy. The web-only channel, which to us is the coolest MTV incarnation since they started broadcasting music videos a lifetime ago, focuses on indie music from around the world. This includes some of our popular African performers, and indeed Baloji did a set in NYC at a bar called <a href=\"http:\/\/petescandystore.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pete&#8217;s Candy Store<\/a> which was recorded by MTV Iggy.<\/p>\n<p>The place has an intimate vibe which was captured well on video, it&#8217;s the next best thing to a private concert in your living room.
