Tropical Diaspora® Records reflects the musical narrative created by forced African migration, its collective memory and their powerful musical Stories, since 1995 in Berlin.
The Tropical Diaspora® Records musical ethos: Our language is music. We feel obliged to empower the people we work with by means of giving them the chance to control their own narrative. And we are glad to be an instrument for this purpose.
