The music platform has partnered with Nyege Nyege for this short documentary, accompanied by an energetic compilation, Music for the Eagles<\/em>. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SCENES: East African Underground<\/em> tells the story of a group of innovative artists building a creative community and sharing it on a global scale, powered by future-forward music that pushes the boundaries of hip-hop, experimental electronics, dance, and sounds from throughout the region. The video features commentary from these artists and others creating diverse, multi-faceted sounds across the scene, featuring DJ Slikback, Aunty Rayzor<\/a>, Otim Alpha<\/a>, KMRU<\/a>, Boutross, and Nyege Nyege<\/a> Festival co-founder Derek Debru. Some of these are present on Music for the Eagles<\/em>, the Nyege compilation released for the occasion. “Nyege Nyege and SoundCloud share a love for underground music and community building<\/em>,\u201d said Derek Debru. \u201cMusic for the Eagles is both music that engages audiences in new sonic territories and also an opportunity for many emerging artists to get a formidable spotlight to further their career and engage with global audiences<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 14 never-before released tracks from emerging scenes on the continent, Music for the Eagles <\/em>features exclusive works from big local cats, and introduces up-and-coming talents representing a variety of unique genres. Artists featured include local heroes such as Nairobi-based rapper, singer and producer Boutross, traditional adungu and nanga harp master and singer Otim Alpha and Tanzanian producer Jay Mitta<\/a> who made a name for himself through a unique take on singeli music. The album also introduces up and coming talents like Kenyan future-pop artist KABEAUSH\u00c9, Ugandan grime, hip-hop and punk master MC Yallah<\/a> and dynamic rapper Ecko Bazz. Beyond East Africa, acts like Durban\u2019s Phelimuncasi<\/a>, with their signature style of Gqom, are represented as well as razor sharp Nigerian rapper Aunty Rayzor and many more from a diverse range of underground scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
