A special hour on Editions Syliphone Conakry, the Guinean state-funded record label that ran from 1967 to 1986, across the tenure of President Sékou Touré. The purpose of the label was to support and promote Guinean traditional and national music, at home and abroad. Since its independence from France in 1958, Guinea's artists had been radicalised by an official cultural policy that sought to modernise the arts while still being faithful to the traditional roots. It was a policy called authenticité, and music was its prime focus. Under the policy each region in Guinea, some 34 in total, were represented by artistic troupes. These consisted of an orchestra, a traditional music ensemble, a choir, and a theatrical group. The government purchased new musical instruments for the orchestras, at a huge cost, and encouraged the groups to write songs about topics such as African nationalism, anti-colonialism, and anti-imperialism. The Syliphone label thus captured a moment in African history when a new nation asserted its voice and placed music at the forefront of its cultural identity. Their’s is a story that is intertwined with the political struggle for independence in Africa.

Clandestine record label, The Trilogy Tapes, tear up the NTS studios once a month, ripping through the grittiest and muddiest tracks. No words on this one, just tunes.

There are three artists by the name of Dylan Jones

One is a student from long island https://soundcloud.com/adam4

The other is some random dude whose discography consists of 1 1 track release entitled 'Swn Uffern'.

Dylan Jones is a Las Vegas based folk musician. His songs are melanges of heartfelt lyrics, intricate yet simple guitar, and sincere vocals. They make me spew all over my underthings. He is a visionary. fap. His debut album, Chocolate Cake Heartbreak, is a blend of sexy covers and true-to-the-gut original love songs. His second album, Too Much to Give, well, I don't know shit about that one. He's playing a new song right next to me right now. We're drinking white russians and he's wearing a gold lame' smoking jacket without looking like a douche. He's pretty alright.
