ISSUE TWO EXTRAS: Jumbo Mixtape

It's here! The first and greatest Lo and Behold! Mixtape, with songs selected by music producer and A&R exec Donald 'Jumbo' Vanrenen, as featured in Lo and Behold! Issue Two! For those who haven't read the interview yet, Jumbo is a giant in the so-called 'World music' scene. Born in Cape Town, Jumbo left for London, England in the mid-1970s to find himself at the center of a musical revolution. Starting out at Virgin Records in the days when it was just a record shop, developing Chris Blackwell's Mango imprint under Island Records, and then running his own label Earthworks in the late 80s, Jumbo played a huge but often-overlooked role in the popularisation of Reggae and African music, putting out some of the first recordings by Youssou N'Dour, Johnny Clegg, Busi Mhlongo, Baaba Maal, and Salif Keita.

Back in Cape Town after three decades abroad, we kicked it with Jumbo at his Cape Town home and talked music. And the man was kind enough to make us a mix CD, ripping many of the tracks from their original vinyl (his collection is massive). So we handed it off to the official Lo and Behold! DJs the He-Man Woman Haters Club, and this is the result. Ladies and gentlemen: the Jumbo Mixtape.
