About Me

Mandara:(pronounced MAHN-dah-rah)origin: Swahili, meaning: leader .....Philly music's best-kept secret since 1988, Mandara is a veteran dj/remixer/producer/poet/artist and unshakeable disciple of Christ. Creating sondscapes that range from acid jazz to r&b to hiphop to dancehall with the mighty Merx production crew, having rocked clubs from Philly to Monaco alongside Prince Dred, and doing substantial damage on his own, Mandara is a problem. Stay tuned to this spot to see what he has up his sleeve...
