    Worldwide FM Morning Mari’s album of the week is Analog Africa‘s “Various Artists – ‘Mogadisco – Dancing Mogadishu (1972 – 1991)“.

    In November 2016 Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb headed to Somalia’s capital Mogadishu. Rifling through piles of cassettes and listening to reel-to-reel tapes in the dusty archives of Radio Mogadishu, Samy found music that “swam against the current”. Analog Africa are now presenting this collection of previously unreleased Somali Funk and more.
