Chief Boima - African In New York

Here's a new release for all you guys that like African House, Coupe Decale, Cumbia, Kuduro, and Champeta. Chief Boima is a Sierra Leonean-American DJ/producer born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and raised in the World. His 'African In New York' is full of club ready African remixes honed during his global travels as a DJ and producer. My favourites on this release are the title song "African In New York", "Sina Makossa" produced with Uproot Andy and his official rework of virtuosic Sierra Leonean blind thumb piano player Sorie Kondi's "Without Money No Family." In my opinion the song "Last Night Of Your Life" really doesn't fit on this EP, it's a bad dance song, so it's not really worth listening. Nevertheless the other tunes are quite unique, so have a listen!
