    MICHAEL CHAPMAN

    Nearly 50 years later, the fact that he is still stunning crowds with his searing guitar playing and still writing those great slow burning soulful lyrics is testament indeed to the sheer breadth and innovative scope of this man's creative soul.

    All are creating a dynamic new African identity for the evolving genre of hip hop. DJ PAUL GAMBLIN Local DJ and purveyor of serious groove, Paul Gamblin (RTRFM's Black and Blue Radio show) draws from his vast vinyl collection to bring a selection of global beats and future funk to KULCHA for the first time.
