The Urban Landscapes Radioshow 11.27 with Exclusive Bigga Bush Guestmix
Okay, I’m way, way, way behind on presenting the new music here. And you will hear more of the backlog on the next several shows. But sometimes, you gotta go with it.
And this week is really going with it. It’s all mainly about dub meister Bigga Bush, adding the sounds of afrobeat as among his most recent musical self-discoveries, sharing the love with others. Back in 2001, he released an album under the guise of Lightning Head on the Sonar Kollektiv label called Studio Don. It was an amalgaman of dub, reggae, and some afrobeat among other sounds.
Since that time, Bush has dug deeper and deeper into the afrobeat, making discoveries, new friends, and travels near and far to follow the music. He describes his musical journey in a short audio documentary he’s narrarated and produced called “Journey Into Afrobeat.” You, Urban Landcapes fan, will be hearing it here on this week’s show. And not too long after it ends comes an exclusive guestmix from Bigga Bush himself.
Yes folks, it’s (almost) all about Bigga Bush aka Lightning Head and afrobeat.
I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend to you to check out his dope 13 Faces of Lightning Head album being released in October through his Lion Head label. Check the site for more info, aight?!
Soak it up and enjoy!
