| Rəhman Məmmədli | Azerbaijani Gitara Volume 2 | Les Disques Bongo Joe | In the heartlands of Azerbaijan, where the melodies of the Caspian Sea meet the rhythms of the Caucasus Mountains, the electric guitar has become more than an instrument—it's a symbol of cultural fusion and artistic expression. Building upon the success of their first compilation, "Azerbaijani Gitara," which showcased the pioneering work of Rustem Quliyev, Bongo Joe Records are thrilled to present the highly anticipated second volume, featuring the legendary guitarist Rəhman Məmmədli. - bandcamp | * | 0:13:44 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |

| Le Tout-Puissant Orchestre Poly-Rythmo | Madjafalao - the prize currently up for grabs - pledge to get in the running! | Because Music | Few working acts have more than 50 years (and 1000 songs) in the tank. But these evergreen Beninese trailblazers mine their afrofunk legacy to blistering effect on this comeback record. And, from the opening desert rock strains of the title track right through to the sprightly high-life of “Finlin Ho,” Madjafalao acts as a sure-footed introduction to a band that have collaborated with everyone from Fela Kuti to Franz Ferdinand. - apple music | 1:16:40 (MP3 | Pop-up) | ||

| Cem Karaca | Kardaslar & Apaslar | Cem Karaca was a Turkish rock musician and one of the most important figures in the Anatolian rock movement. He wrote songs for various bands such as Apaşlar, Kardaşlar, Moğollar and Dervişan, and faced political persecution and exile for his progressive and poetic lyrics. He was accused of treason for being a separatist thinker and a Marxist-Leninist. The Turkish government tried to portray Karaca as a man who was unknowingly writing songs to start a revolution. - wiki. Part of Grand Prize. | 1:37:28 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |||

| Mulatu Astatke | Mulatu Of Ethiopia (2-LP Version) | Strut | Strut present the first official reissue of a landmark album in the field of African music, Mulatu Astatke’s ‘Mulatu Of Ethiopia’ from 1972. Recorded in New York, the album arrived at a time when Astatke had begun to master the delicate fusion of styles needed to create Ethio jazz. “I left the UK for America and studied at Berklee College in Boston. I learnt the technical aspects of jazz and gained a beautiful understanding of many different types of music. That’s where I got my tools. Berklee really shook me up.” - bandcamp The prize currently up for grabs and your odds are good! | 1:42:31 (MP3 | Pop-up) | ||
| Bibi Den's Tshibayi | Sensible | Pharaway Sounds | Featuring Congolese musician Denis Bibi Den’s Thsibayi and his band The Best, “Sensible” was recorded in 1983 at Abidjan, Ivory Coast, after Denis Tshibayi was requested to play live there. M. Sacko helped with the production / edition and the album was originally released first as a tiny private pressing in the Ivory Coast and later in France on the Tangent label. During that time, Denis Thsibayi also recorded for Earthworks/Rough Trade and in the following decades he recorded with Adrian Sherwood (On-U Sound Records), Alpha Blondy, etc. - bandcamp | 1:57:14 (MP3 | Pop-up) | ||

| Meridian Brothers |
Cumbia Del Pichamán
|
Cumbia Siglo XXI | Les Disques Bongo Joe | I decided to try a new experiment taking as a reference the legendary group "Cumbia siglo XX" which is a group who explores a futuristic vision of coastal cumbia in the 80s. Meridian Brothers took this as a departing point and inspiration, making the same experiment but in XXI century, using the modern media of this time; all kinds of drum machines, guitars and synths, algorithmic software etc, and also taking into account the global exposition of modern cumbia in the 2010s. So all kinds of influences and genres are blended around this cumbia axis. - Eblis Alvarez on bandcamp. Our prize currently up for grabs! | 2:48:14 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
