Summary

Lace Cadence is the host of KEXP’s “The Continent,” which showcases the many of genres and styles across Africa, from AfroBeats to Amapiano, Soukous to Mbalax. In this episode, Lace joins Janice to share two tracks – covering the spectrum of African house music, from a classic-style jam to Amapiano. (Plus, throws a curveball in the middle, with a nod to his ‘90s Seattle roots!)

And speaking of “‘90s Seattle,” KEXP Music Director Chris Sanley shares the latest single from local trio Black Ends, who bring their own style of grunge they call “gunk pop.”

Gaba Cannal and Zaba - “Emthandayo (featuring Sykes)”
Drain - “Run Your Luck"
Felo Le Tee, Scotts Maphuma, and Thabza Tee - “Yebo Lapho (Gogo)”
Fela Kuti and Africa ‘70 - “Water No Get Enemy”
Black Ends - “Bent”
