Best tracks of 2019 (so far)
Narrowing down the tracks of 2019 into a definitive playlist has been a challenge for many reasons.
Firstly, we’ve been blessed with a rich selection of sounds since January, one that has served as an expansive, genre-bending journey for fans of Qwest TV and for all music lovers.
Our twenty-track playlist tells a part of this story, offering vibrant snapshots into the state of modern jazz, hip hop, fusion, soul, r&b, electronica and more.
On the face of it, the pieces form a broad, wide-ranging list, but they are all unified by the sense of multiculturalism and eclecticism that lives within each one.
The first part of 2019 has traced these blended pathways, forming new offshoots along the way. From the cross-continental neo-soul of Seba Kaapstad to the nationless rhythmic pathways drawn by Christian Scott’s jazz, press play and join the qwest.
