Amadou & Mariam - Sabali (Miike Snow Remix)
Sounds like: Ali Farka Touré, Rokia Traoré, Tinariwen
By Jason Grishkoff on Dec 15, 2010 | One of my favorite groups to listen to during summer is Amadou & Mariam, who have a very close relationship with Manu Chao. Fortunately for them, the blind couple lives in Bamako, where the temperature barely drops below balmy. But the same can't... read more →

Fools Gold - Nadine
Fools Gold - Nadine
Sounds like: Fela Kuti, Amadou and Mariam
By Max Jacobs on Oct 7, 2010 | I have no surf rock "band of the week" for you today, nor a sad guitarist from Portland. Today, I bring you pure joy: Fool's Gold! The last time I saw the Los Angeles-based band, I had purchased tickets way in advance, assuming that everyone and thei... read more →

Cibelle - Frankenstein
Cibelle - Frankenstein
Sounds like: Bebel Gilberto, Ceu, Ottmar Liebert, Devendra Banhart
By Tony Smith on Aug 13, 2010 | Though taking an autumn stroll down a cobblestone lane in old world Europe may have been Cibelle Cavalli's inspiration for the song "London London" on her genre-bending album The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves, the song takes on a much larger life in... read more →

Manu Chao - Me Gustas Tu
Sounds like: Mano Negra, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Che Sudaka
By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 8, 2010 | This is one of those songs that halfway through, you stop and ask who it is. Manu Chao sings in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, English, which he mixes with Salsa, Reggae, Ska, Rock and Punk - The Clash are one of his biggest influences. His par... read more →

Madlib - Track 2
Sounds like: Os Mutantes, Dangerdoom, J Dilla, Talib Kweli
By J Meagher on Feb 24, 2010 | So I've been crazy-sick the past few days, resulting in the overindulgence of over-the-counter crack, also known as Day/Nyquil. This has led to some interesting semi-conscious hours of music listening and conversing, and I've been thinking, what bett... read more →

Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel (Micachu and The Shapes Remix)
Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel (Micachu and The Shapes Remix)
Sounds like: Amadou and Mariam, Manu Chao, Bela Fleck, The Givers
By Taylor Fife on Nov 5, 2009 | Fool's Gold, a collective out of Los Angeles, let the groove be their guide on their eponymous debut. The music is thoroughly African in style and if I had heard the album without any other information I would have pegged them as a North African or m... read more →

The Very Best - Warm Heart of Africa (Ft Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend)
The Very Best - Warm Heart of Africa (Ft Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend)
Sounds like: Radioclit, Tinariwen, The Avalanches
By Jason Grishkoff on Nov 3, 2009 | The Very Best is a collaboration between Malawian vocalist Esau Mwamwaya and London producers Radioclit, and in my very honest opinion, they aren't worth the attention they're getting. Last night The Very Best sold out Washington, D.C.'s DC9 Club, in... read more →

Sounds like: Afrocelt, Extra Golden, Tinariwen, Ali Farka
By Daniel Surwit on Aug 22, 2009 | This unique quintet hails out of the rolling hills of Asheville, NC with a sound that might as well be coming from several thousand miles around the world. Although all five members grew up in and began their music careers on the appalachian trail, m... read more →
