Beating Heart DJ Set
Beating Heart
Line Up
Beating Heart are a collective of artists and enthusiasts who believe in the power of music to create a world without borders. Hatched in the heart of Sub Saharan Africa in 2016, the project sprung from a vision to bring the largest archive of African music in the world, ILAM (recorded across 18 countries between the 1920s and the 1970s) into the present day.
By inviting today’s most celebrated and fresh producers from around the globe to build new compositions using elements of the original recordings, Beating Heart have created a renewed interest in the preservation of some of the most vibrant rhythms and cultures on the planet.
Moving country by country, each album released by the Beating Heart family raises monies for the communities where the music was originally recorded. During the summer of 2017, Beating Heart will highlight the music of South Africa and Malawi in keeping with their ambitious releases to date.
