AfroStreet team up to flip Jill Scott classics
Hidden Beach records is toying with the concept of an AfroBeat remix record of classics from Jilly from Philly to accompany her debut as Precious Ramotswe in the HBO Series,"The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency".
The first major film/TV project to be shot entirely on location in Botswana, 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' is based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith and co-written and executive produced by Richard Curtis and the late Anthony Minghella.
Like McCall's novels, the series chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott), the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, located in the Kgale Hill Shopping Center on the outskirts of Gaborone. Aided by her efficient yet high-strung secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), Precious investigates a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives, from missing children to philandering husbands to con-artist scams.
Hidden Beach Records tapped the Afro Beat remix duo "AfroStreet" (Mark Hines & Rich Medina) to update and throwback classics like "Cross My Mind", "Love Rain", "Is It The Way", and "Brother".
