From the organizer:

The premiere archaeologist of African vinyl – FRANK GOSSNER – comes for a night of African sounds, infectious rhythms and delectable beats.

He’ll have years of original African vinyl in his luggage ready to share with Vietnam about the exceptional, yet unheralded music being made in the world’s most underprivileged continent. He’ll be selecting danceable African cuts that can’t be heard anywhere else on the planet.

Frank’s African adventure began in 2005 when he followed his passion and curiosity to West Africa. Since then he’s travelled extensively through Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria building one of the most unique collections of rare African vinyl in the world. It wasn’t easy, Frank has fled martial law and civil uprisings, been stranded in the bush, robbed at machete-point, followed old sailors around downtown Freetown, fished records out of insects nests and travelled thousands of kilometres on dirt roads – all in search of rare grooves.
