EA Wave is the new collective spreading in East Africa by means of their electric blend of house, trap, hip-hop and downtempo. We ask them to select their 5 essential tracks.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and\u00a0the economic hub of East Africa. Today it’s a true breeding ground of talented artists. There, we listen benga, Nigerian afrobeats, jamaican dancehall and\u00a0western-influenced R&B. And also there is the music that is not played on the radio, the music played by young urban population. Among this young people, there is\u00a0Hiribae<\/strong>, Mvroe<\/strong>, Nu Fvnk<\/strong>, Jinku<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ukweli<\/strong>. It is now two years since these five prodigies decided to get together under the EA Wave collective.<\/span><\/p>\n

EA Wave is a true Wolrd Music 2.0’s product : a Do It Yourself music created by group of young people from all corners of the globe, inspired by what they find on YouTube or by their cultural roots.\u00a0\u201cWe wanted to make something with the purpose of pushing the boundaries of what people consider as African music and art,\u201d Ukweli says to Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
