    Waldemar-Chakademus Remix on Africa Plays On

    Africa Plays On CD Celebrates Africa’s Contribution to World Cup 2006

    New York, USA - Africa’s contribution to the FIFA World Cup 2006 is celebrated on ‘ Africa Plays On’ - an album showcasing the vivid and rich diversity of the continent’s music – released by Because on Monday 5th June. ‘ Africa Plays On’ was conceived by PUMA and the New York-based music production collective Onda to support PUMA’s World Cup campaign with the charitable organization United For Africa.
     
    The album was inspired by the six sub-Saharan African Football Associations sponsored by PUMA - Angola, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Togo – with tracks from each of these musically-rich nations plus contributions from artists around the world.

    Africa Plays On features a number of collaborations including Senegalese rapper Akon’s reworking of Malian duo Amadou & Mariam’s ‘Coulibaly’, The Roots-produced ‘Kettode’ by Senegal’s Baaba Maal and ‘Silani’ by Guinea’s Ba Cissoko and Sudanese rapper K’Naan. 
     
    ‘Cocody Rock’, the Ivory Coast classic by Alpha Blondy, is remixed and features France’s Neg’ Marrons; Angolan vocalist Waldemar Bastos features the Jamaican artist Chaka Demus on a rework of ‘Pitangha Madurinha’ while Cameroon’s Manu Dibango (of ‘Soul Makossa’ fame) joins Onda for ‘Ngando’, a remix of the PUMA “Welcome to Football” advertisement. And more!
