\"Asna\"<\/p>\n

The Abidjan DJ delivers\u00a0a mix to celebrate the issue of\u00a0<\/span>Nyamakala Beats\u00a0Vol.1,\u00a0<\/em>the first compilation from the young label Blanc Manioc<\/a>.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Asna is a DJ based in Abidjan who works mainly for the local collective La Sunday. She’s also the founder of the Sunyubok project, which brings together young emerging talents from all disciplines in West Africa. Through her set, she\u00a0explores African musical roots by revisiting\u00a0the jerky rhythms from Ivorian coup\u00e9-decal\u00e9, gqom, bass and kuduro and the frenzy of traditional songs. Asna is a reflection of her\u00a0generation, free and uninhibited.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0garnering attecntion on the stage of Afropunk and her Boiler Room in Morocco (at the Atlas Electronic Festival), she unveils a mix accompanying the release of\u00a0Nyamakala Beats\u00a0Vol.1,\u00a0<\/em><\/span>the first compilation from Blanc Manioc. The ones who defines herself as a sound explorer will join the ‘global club’ label next spring to sign her first EP.<\/p>\n
