OKA: Portformat “Mothership” feat. Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow

Every time I visit my folks in Southern Germany, I meet up with Portformat (Ibrahim M’Bodji), a music producer with Senegalese and German roots, whom I have known for almost four years, for drinks and serious conversations about life, the world and of course music. I remember very well when he told me that he was going to have a feature with Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow on his debut album titled The Repeat Factor. I knew that it was going to be a banger back then, but when he played the song for me the first time I was thrilled. Take a listen to the , below.

Mishoo goes Okayafrica.com

I am honored to announce my first official blog post on www.Okayafrica.com (OKA) .
I'm sure you guys want to know how this happened, right? well, as I was doing some marketing for my current release "Born in the Land of a Thousand Hills" (www.mishoothedrumkit.com). I tried to get in touch with okayafrica and thought that they might be interested in what I do. I sent an e-mail with all press information and four months later I received a reply. They liked what I do and asked me if I liked to write for okayafrica and have my own blog. I was very surprised. A few emails later, I received the writers instructions and wrote my first post about my man Portformat. They posted it on the first of September 2010. Thank you for supporting the Afro and Afreuropean movement okayplayer!
