Saadi-
"NYC’s own Boshra AlSaadi (aka Saadi, who did the fresh cover of Dylan’s “Mama, You Been on My Mind”, which Pitchfork debuted) and collaborative partner Dither Down Records founder Tim Wagner (33Hz), have teamed up with Sierra Leone artists Ahmed Janka Nabay (of True Panther and Bubu Gang) and Pupa Bajah of the increasingly momentous Dry Eye Crew, for the well-worth-the-half-hour “Summer of Saadi” (S.O.S.) mixtape, which through a dozen tracks covers Lady Saw’s “Man is the Least”, a track on Sly ‘N Robbie’s Tabla Riddim called “Nunyo Shit” (performed by The Pajammerz including Here We Go Magic’s Jen Turner), and Queen Ifrica’s “Below the Waist”, while also repping the new Saadi Reggae tune, “Take It Easy”.
Janka Nabay-
Ahmed Janka Nabay is the father of Bubu music in Sierra Leone. Until now, this music has not yet been recognized by the west. It has it's origin in Timini muslim feasts that Janka attended as a young boy. He is the first to transer the Bubu music into modern popilar music.
