Tune in to the May 2024 edition of Switchstance Radio for a special episode featuring three dynamic and diverse interviews. First, Congolese-German singer and activist MELANE joined us live in the studio to talk about her music and political activism. We also spoke with Reggae and Dub producer Kibir La Amlak, who visited Cologne for an exceptional live performance. Our third interview took place in Rotterdam, where DOGU met with Leo PaLayeng and Emiliano Motta, the creative forces behind the Makabila Umoja label, for a collaborative music session.

This episode also includes new music releases from artists like Sylvester Kabombo, Woxov, El Michels Affair, Pretty Bulli, Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, and more.

Hey everyone! Before our upcoming album “Cypher Kabaka” drops on June 28th, we’re excited to give you a taste with the third single from the album, “Sekalootera.” This track features the soulful vocals of Phitzo Kiganda, formerly of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble and a key member of BA Cypher Kabaka.

“Sekalootera” dives deep into timeless themes of spirituality, positivity, and indigenous wisdom, echoing Phitzo’s profound respect for Jah Rastafari and his divine teachings. With lyrics brimming with humility and gratitude, Phitzo delivers a poignant message, urging listeners to navigate life with careful consideration. Infused with conscious empowerment, traditional African beats, and ancient wisdom, this song represents our fusion of the past and the present, offering a modern interpretation of age-old values.
