Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of The Midday Show on KEXP, is "You Sold Me a Dream (feat. Ana Tijoux)" by Jupiter & Okwess, from the 2021 album Na Kozonga on Everloving Records.
Congolese band Jupiter & Okwess team up with Chilean artist Ana Tijoux for an infectious track with a powerful message, a song Jupiter declared an "anthem of resistance." Against an electronic tribal rhythm, Tijoux states:
[Google translated]
From Congo to the world
From Congo to Latin America and Africa complete
Against all racism the music is heard loud, loud, hear it
Today's Song of the Day will be released on Jupiter & Okwess' forthcoming full-length, Na Kozonga, out April 23rd.
