Lace Cadence: Gaba Cannal and Zaba, Drain, Felo Le Tee, Scotts Maphuma, and Thabza Tee

In Our Headphones

Lace Cadence – the host of KEXP’s Afrobeat show, The Continent – shares 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.”

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