Take A Trip with Awesome Tapes From Africa

Take A Trip is the monthly residency of Mario Cotto at TSL. This month, Mario welcomes his first guest, Brian Shimkovitz, aka Awesome Tapes From Africa. Since 2006, Brian Shimkovitz's Awesome Tapes From Africa blog has been shedding light on obscure and wonderful sounds from across the continent. Awesome Tapes DJ sets celebrate the music and musicians whose cassettes Shimkovitz has collected over the years. His DJ sets on twin tape decks explore deep, regional sounds using analog-anchored agility not heard or seen anywhere else.
