Lost Tracks: Accra to Addis

Lost Tracks: Accra to Addis is compiled by Afrocat, in her 25th year as a DJ/Selector, Music and Culture Curator, Radio Show Presenter on the Blaxploitation Lounge…and an Adventurer!

She journeyed to Ghana and Ethiopia to find these very special tracks. Her mission; to explore the variety of vintage sounds and re-invoke the spirit that emerged from the first revolutionary era in Africa, where independence, progress, and the elevation of all brothers and sisters reigned supreme...to an uplifting, funky, and deeply soul-felt soundtrack. Ethio-jazz, highlife, gospel, African polyrhythms, and psychedelic sounds grace this release.

The compilation idea transpired into a record label. Lost Tracks Records has been signed, and has some fabulous releases, international live and club events, and collaborations in store. As one of the industry's few Black, female record label owners - particularly in these genres - this is a voice that needs to be heard, and there are ambitious plans to do just that.

Expect the unearthing of international disco, deep funk, blaxploitation, dancefloor jazz, and intergalactic, afro-futuristic sonic adventures!
