THE DIASPORA FOR AFRICA VOL. 2

Culture Taxi Records

Culture Taxi Records marshals its collective expertise once again and presents the latest installment in the global fight against malnutrition and poverty. Artists the world over have donated tracks to this double collection, and the top-notch result is worthy in more ways than one.

Taj Weekes & Adowa's "Crash", originally released on Hope & Doubt, is featured on CD 1. With a total of 28 tracks, this double disc collection features an inordinate amount of ear-friendly material including tracks by other artists such as Mandinga, Ndioba, Hilary Hawn, Mudfunk, Kush, Manu Dibango and much more.

Your Culture Taxi driver is, as ever, at your service and more than willing to tour the highways and byways in search of solid music with soul, of a modern expression of culture that has not lost its genetic memory. If he spots an interesting detour as he cruises past, backs up and sets off down a new route, you will thank him for it!

Taj Weekes & Adowa's label Jatta Records has partnered with Spectra Records for a printing and distribution deal to release both Deidem and Hope & Doubt throughout the United States and Canada in July.

Taj Weekes & Adowa performed live at 88.9 KUSP Radio, an independent community-based non-profit broadcast voice serving the Central California Coast. You can now listen to an excerpt of that recording here featuring the song Jagged from their debut album Hope & Doubt.
