Mawimbi Summer Sampler - Vinyl Cover
Vinyl cover for Mawimbi Summer Sampler - Five years into its existence, Mawimbi Records has carved its own special place in the field of contemporary dance music, championing traditional sounds while setting its eyes to the future. With a dozen albums and EPs from the likes of Loya, Onipa, Pouvoir Magique, Umeme, Africaine 808, Umoja and many other upcoming artists, Mawimbi Records still has many wonders to unveil, hence this « Summer Sampler », made of 4 tracks taken from forthcoming Mawimbi Records releases. Taken from Onipa’s 2nd EP (to be released next july together with Wormfood London), « Maadi3 » has the spontaneity and cheerfulness of a true Ghanaian highlife classic, while its modern production and arrangement make for a true summer anthem designed for dancefloors. A powerful dance track loaded with catchy vocal hooks from Ghanaian talent Zongo Abongo, « Tell Me Why You Worry » is taken from Burland’s self-titled debut EP (to be released in september).
