As a Brussels-based music writer, global sounds activist, radiomaker and DJ, I’ve been specialising in music from around the globe since 2005 for several Belgian and Dutch newspapers and magazines. I’ve got a clear penchant for African music – from the mother continent and the Diaspora – and for world fusion/crossover.I write about world music & cultures, always looking for artists who have interesting things to say. That’s probably why afrobeat is my favourite music: it’s outspoken and very danceable.I like to call myself a mestizo (half-breed) having a Flemish mother and French-speaking father from Brussels, making me a half-Nordic, half-Latin hybrid. You can call me Afroviking, but that Afro-part is self-proclaimed, although you can find some African roots in my curly hair…On my weekly program Radio Métis on the webradio Groovalizacion.com, I only have one goal: to demonstrate that WORLD MUSIC IS COOL! I’ll do that through a lot of black music and crossover.I’m also known as DJ Mukambo, although I don’t have the pretention of saying I’m a deejay. The only thing I do is play great Afro stuff that gets the party going!
