Aziza Brahim, Gulili Mankoo
Wilaya Blues (Aziza Brahim) 5:38
Invasores (Ljadra Mint Mabroum - Aziza Brahim) 4:56
from Mabruk 2012

Often referred to as the Devil’s Violinist, the Paganini of Voivodina, or a child prodigy, once he is on stage with an instrument – be it the violin or the zither – Lajkó is capable of doing anything, of guarding his audience to a world that opens up only to those born with a special talent. Félix Lajkó handles music rather impulsively. There is no need to define the style or genre of his music, since it is exactly about the opposite: transgressing styles, accepting the inexplicable.

Forgalom / Traffic 6:36
from Mező / Field 2013
”There are natural talents of music: in their hands everything turns into music - the choice of instrument does not make any difference.”
”Félix Lajkó (in Hungarian name-order Lajkó Félix) is not only an elusive master of traditional fiddle improvisation, but he is a brilliant player of the Hungarian fretted zither as well. ” fROOTS, November 1, 2013
The WMCE (World Music Charts Europe) has published its top 150 album of 2013 list. Out of 913 nominated records the new zither album of Félix Lajkó – was the leader both in August and September – called ’Field’ has ended up at the prominent 5th place!
Félix Lajkó - zither, Antal Brasnyó - viola, Michael Kurina - hammered dulcimer, Ferenc Kurina - double bass

Bidjegui 3:20
Tiger Run 4:20
Medjok 5_31
from Tiger Run 2014
Sally Nyolo's second Riverboat Records album is inspired by the moment before a tiger attacks - hushed in the long grass, senses alert, eyes wide, ears pricked, quiet purr, humming low. The title track 'Tiger Run' simmers with a musical mood akin to this idea: listen out for gently warping guitars, feather-light percussion and Sally's demure husky vocal. The tiger cat acts as a totem throughout Tiger Run, flexing its claws as the main source of inspiration. In conversation Sally Nyolo credits the animal for guiding her to compose music that strives toward a sense of power infused with lightness and agility...
Sally Nyolo's Tiger Run is poised to pounce and sink its slinking rhythms deep into your skin. Listen as the tiger's daughter dances close, marking her musical territory, and singing out at her creative zenith.
After rising to international success with the release of her chart-topping 1991 album Logozo, West African singer Angélique Kidjo became a fixture of world music, pairing her unique multilingual fusion of Afrobeat, pop, jazz, reggae, and various African traditions with collaborators who span multiple genres of music, from Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet to Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Dr. John, and Branford Marsalis...
Kelele (Jean Hébrail / Angélique Kidjo) 3:37
Otishe (Traditional) 4:02
Samba Pa Ti (Carlos Santana) 3:49
from Sings 2015
Sings finds the great Beninese vocalist Angélique Kidjo fronting the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, conducted by Gast Waltzing. This is a studio offering that reflects the highlights of a series of now legendary 2011 concerts between them. Recorded at the Philharmonie Luxembourg, in New York, and in France, the program is a lively and unusual retrospective from Kidjo's career. Along with the orchestra, Kidjo is joined by her own band and guest musicians including guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Christian McBride, and backing vocalists... Perhaps the greatest asset of this particular recording is how it reaffirms what we already knew: that Kidjo can deliver any song in any setting and remain iconic.
Ibeyi (pronounced ee-bey-ee) is the Parisian musical duo of twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, who meld elements of Afro-Cuban roots music and electro doom soul. Their name comes from the Yoruban language and translates as "twins." The two were born in Cuba, and sing in both English and Yoruban. Their father, the late conguero Miguel "Anga" Diaz (Buena Vista Social Club), passed away while the women were still in their teens. Their mother Maya insisted that the pair compose and perform...
Ghosts (Birdpaula / Maya Dagnino / Lisa Kainde Diaz) 3:31
Think of You (Maya Dagnino / Lisa Kainde Diaz / Richard Russell) 3:40
Stranger/Lover )Maya Dagnino / Lisa Kainde Diaz) 4:11
from Ibeyi 2015
Ibeyi is the self-titled debut album from Cuban-born, French-raised twins Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz. The daughters of Cuban percussionist Miguel "Angá" Diaz (who was a performing member of the Buena Vista Social Club) and Venezuelan mother Maya began making music upon their father's passing in 2006... Ibeyi's sound is deliberately sparse, as reliant on Santerian religious chants as it is on 21st century Euro soul. Lisa-Kainde sings lead and plays piano; Naomi sings harmony and plays West African drums -- cajón and batá -- both elemental parts of the Afro-Cuban musical lineage. The sisters sing in both English and Yoruban, the latter inherited from their father's spiritual and cultural heritage... Their songs of family, love, lust, and spirit pair perfectly entwined and complementary voices. The musical and sonic palettes reflect both the world of human existence -- ancestry and physical geography -- and the "other" realm that informs it -- a doorway of feelings and senses that is invisible yet ever present.
Instrumental in the global renaissance of Cuban music, Roberto Fonseca is a world-renowned pianist famous for fusing Latin jazz, urban music, and African rhythms with the sounds of his heritage...
Cubano Chant 4:27
Afro Mambo 3:45
Habanera 5:01
from Abuc 2016
...In 2015, Fonseca issued Ayt Home: Live in Marcia in duet with Malian singer and songwriter Fatoumata Diawara on Jazz Village. The following year the pianist released ABUC, his recording debut with Impulse Records. The album revisited his Afro-Cuban roots. Among its guests were Trombone Shorty, trumpeter Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal, vocalists Daymé Arocena and Carlos Calunga, and Buena Vista Social Club guitarist Eliades Ochoa...
Lula Pena was born in Lisbon and taught herself guitar while listening to pop, rock, soul and jazz as well as Portuguese music. At the age of 22 she moved to Barcelona (Spain), playing in many of the city’s jazz clubs...
Poema/Poème (Lula Pena / Louis Scutenaire) 4:56
Ojos, Si Quereis Vivir (Lula Pena) 7:33
Rose (Ederaldo Gentil / Nelson Rufino) 4:07
from Archivo Pittoresco 2017
...A voice that’s both smooth and hot, Lula lends an intensity of interpretation, with Portugal’s trademark melancholia not far beneath. Lula Pena takes traditional Fado as her starting point, then adds extra layers of depth through the use of instruments that are not normally associated with this traditional genre...
David Eugene Edwards is the lead singer of Wovenhand, and also the main songwriter and the principal musician on the recordings of the band. He is the former lead singer of 16 Horsepower. Their music contains elements of old-time, folk, punk, medieval, gypsy, Native American music, and most recently late 1980s and early 1990s Gothic Rock.
Alexander Hacke) is a guitarist, bass guitarist, singer, musician, record producer, writer and film maker from Germany. He is primarily known as a longtime member of the influential German industrial music group Einstürzende Neubauten.
Triptych 4:37
The Tell 5:00
Teach Us to Pray 3:34
from Risha 2018
...'Risha' cannot be described in traditional terms. This sound is a sweeping tapestry of Americana, Neo-Folk, Industrial, Ambient, Electronic and Arabic Music. 'Risha' - which means 'Feather' in Arabic - contains 10 parts: Beginning with the mystic 'Tryptich' which is followed by the furious beat of 'All in the Palm'. Hacke and Edwards keep the pace with 'The Tell' and its driving industrial rhythm and break it down completely with track #4, “standing stone, Helios”. 'Kiowa 5' is shaped by fascinating drum patterns and the shamanic vocals of David Eugene Edwards. 'Lily' is the song that is inspired most by early Wovenhand, followed by the dark and hypnotic 'Parish Chief' with its almost Suicide-like vintage drumbeat, the drone excursion 'Akhal', before the memorable 'Teach Us To Pray' and the final and epic 'Breathtaker'. Each one a piece of the puzzle; made to be listened in its entirety...
Meybahar was born of a duo with Marilia Pilti (GR) on santouri (a cousin of the Hungarian cymbalom) and violinist Márton Kopcsik (HU) who plays his own custom-made instrument: a 5 string viola with sympathetic strings. When her santouri and his violin meet on stage it forms a magic atmosphere that drives you to undiscovered lands. The pulsation of the music is supported by David Krolikowski (HU) on percussion, Merse Varga (HU) on doholla and frame drums; and Péter Takács (HU) on tabla.
Abyss 4:06
Eridanus 4:53
The Bridge of Drama 6:48
from Abyss 2019
The music of Meybahar explores and resonates in hidden places of our soul, through a music fusion that delves deep into the music cultures of the Aegean Sea and Middle East.
On their first single album, Meybahar (Abyss, Fonó 2019) delivers a multicolored puzzle of melodies from different traditions, brought into a parallel music field through the band’s sound. Tunes directly inspired by Greek and Turkish music and original compositions presented by Meybahar, melt into a common path created by a dynamic rhythmical background of percussion with clear reference to Indian mysticism....
Bogota's Meridian Brothers are a futurist, nearly non-classifiable electro-rock act at the forefront of experimental Latin rhythms and styles. The "band" was founded by multi-instrumentalist Eblis Álvarez, who writes, plays, arranges, and records Meridian Brothers' albums solo (he uses a band when playing live). Their chaotic, irreverent musical approach melds electronic and organic instrumentation, South American, Caribbean, and Mexican rhythms and folk traditions, as influenced by vintage Latin rock and psychedelia, Frank Zappa, the Residents, and post-millennial electronic music.
Los Golpeadores de la Cumbia (Eblis Álvarez) 4:09
Cumbia de la Fuente (Eblis Álvarez) 4:34
Cumbia de la Soledad (Eblis Álvarez) 4:13
from Cumbia Siglo XXI 2020
Bogota's Meridian Brothers are a futurist, electro-rock act at the forefront of experimental Latin rhythms and styles. Founder and multi-instrumentalist Eblis Álvarez writes, plays, arranges, and records the band's albums solo. These explore Latin folk and popular styles including vallenato and currulao, woven through electronica, neo-psych, prog, and cartoon soundtrack music. Cumbia Siglo XXI is titled after a defunct Colombian group who played a sci-fi version of discofied cumbia during the 1980s. The songs here readily reference that as a lift-off point to explore cumbia as a genre. Álvarez melds folkloric and pop Colombian, Argentinian, and Mexican cumbias to vintage rock, neo-electro, spidery funk, and tropical styles...
Journeyman singer, songwriter, poet, and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Amarante first became known as a member of popular Brazilian rock group Los Hermanos before launching a solo career in 2013. Though not a founding member of the band, he became the dominant influencer of their sound throughout the 2000s, while also serving in the Brazilian big band Orquestra Imperial. Restlessly eclectic, Amarante has collaborated with a number of unusual artists from Moreno Veloso to Devendra Banhart while spearheading interesting projects like the indie rock group Little Joy. When he began his solo career with Cavalo, he continued to pursue his instincts blending together bits of rock, electronic music, and Brazilian tradition. After contributing the theme song to the Netflix series Narcos, he resumed his solo work with 2021's Drama.
Drama 1:15
Tango 3:42
Tanto 3:58
Tao 4:32
from Drama 2021
Since releasing the sublime Cavalo in 2014, Brazilian singer/songwriter Rodrigo Amarante has earned some well-deserved North American hype thanks to the evocative "Tuyo," which he wrote as the theme song for Netflix's drug cartel drama Narcos... Weaving and winding through an array of beguiling rhythms, languages, and tones, Amarante's second album, Drama, moves between flair and subtlety with a casual grace that feels timeless... More than anything, Amarante feels like a Tropicália artist for the 21st century, artfully fusing Brazilian and Latin American traditions to progressive songwriting and arrangements that touch on pop, psychedelia, folk, and rock...
