Buenas! Después de unos meses de barbecho vuelvo con una historia de esas que me encantan: cuando punkis trolearon a los servicios de inteligencia. Ya quisieran los que se creen punks de derechas ser la mitad de valientes que los anarcopunks.

“Tears of the Dead” by Arka’n Asrafokor from their album “Zã Keli” released in February 2019.
A metal band that draws its inspiration from African tradition and wisdom, bringing “asrafocore” (music of the warriors) to the world.
Gato Preto – Barulho
https://amf.didiermary.fr/barulho-gato-preto-mendinga-carnival/
Gato Preto, with roots in Ghana, Portugal and Mozambique, mixes music styles, some like Kuduro or Favela Funk with the electronic vibes of AfroHouse.
In “Barulho,” Gato Petro goes even further : it’s Angolan Kuduro meets Punk & Metal with distorted guitars in an afrofuturistic or afro-postapocalyptic video.
The first single, "God Help Us if the Christians Ever Rule," from my new album #TheTowerOfBabelFalls is available now on Bandcamp.
You can also pre-order the album, but I encourage you to wait until Oct 3, which is my birthday and #BandcampFriday. ;)

Burundi Black (1971)
