Analog Africa
Founded in Frankfurt in 2006 by DJ Samy Ben Redjeb, Analog Africa is a reissue label devoted to African and South American recordings, with a particular focus on music from the 1970s and 1980s. Its catalogue brings overlooked regional sounds back into circulation, from the work of Gnonnas Pedro and His Dadjes Band and the Zig Zag Band to recordings by Ranil, Leon Keita and Antoine Dougbé.
The label's releases also trace musical links across continents, including work by The Good Samaritans, Orti e Mayorga y Chiriboga and Harare mambos. Analog Africa approaches its catalogue as a record of local bands, singers and scenes whose music travelled far beyond its original setting.
