Papa Di Betina – Obama
Nodes, transformations, relinkages, branches, confluences. Border people shaking land masses. Immanently radical inspiration. Criticisism or infinitely obligating faces put up by request, just go ahead and ask me anything. A successor of sorts to Birdseed's Tunedown.
Rudimental ft. John Newman – Feel The Love
Happily breaking my “no reblogging european dance music sources” rule (consider it gone), because this is one of the best videos to come out in years. And yes, I know it’s UK #2 or whatever.

Hunter (from the film Gangs of Wasseypur)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know this is the first time Bollywood has used Chutney in a soundtrack.
John Smyl’ – Chak Moun on Moun
Sechaba – Kuwe Baba
Stlofa – Ntja tsa media
It’s interesting that the more socially critical hip-hop of Stlofa also includes Famo inspiration. I’m guessing partly as sardonic comentary.
Tau Ea Linare & Puseletso Seema – He O Oe Oe
Finding more contemporary famo videos from Lesotho is super-difficult. It’s one of the most violence-marred music genres in the world – reading articles from Lesotho Times about it is painful:
Gunmen attack famo mourners
Another famo star shot dead
Famo gangs in fresh shoot-out
Selomo: man of peace is no more
Musician who was facing murder charge shot dead
Famo artistes charged with murder
Police officer arrested for killing famo artist
