Legendary Southern Italian roots band Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino celebrate their 50th Anniversary with an explosive show of thunderous rhythm, showing why they have the reputation as one of the most thrilling live bands in the world. Led by the pulsating healing rhythms of the Taranta, CGS bring Southern Italian heat to every stage, with spectacular dance, virtuosic playing and searing voices that evoke the rich mix of the Mediterranean. Leader Mauro Durante carries on the legacy of his visionary family who formed the band in 1975 with the aim of preserving Taranta heritage – their explosive live performances show the deep roots that have nurtured a vital and contemporary phenomenon and made them Italy’s premier roots band, Who must not be missed! CGS will perform a special show in NYC to mark their 50th anniversary, on April 2nd, going back to Drom, the venue they played their first NY debut in 2011.

Various Artists: Super Disco Pirata - De Tepito Para El Mundo 1965-1980 | Analog Africa | During the 1980s, a group of music dealers and record collectors from Mexico City joined forces to create a series of illegally manufactured vinyl records containing rare and highly-sought hits from Perú, Ecuador, Colombia and beyond. At the time, Mexico City’s dance-party scene was ruled by the sonideros, a highly developed network of mobile soundsystem operators. The popularity of the sonideros led to a growing demand for tropical music, as their fan base became increasingly hungry for the “exclusive” hits associated with particular sonidos. - distrotable | * | 1:41:39 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

| Loketo |
Kimia Eve
|
Soukous Trouble | Loketo founder Diblo Dibala's smoothly syncopated 16th-note patterns virtually define 1990s soukous. Bearing an impeccable pedigree--including stints with the legendary Franco's TPOK band in Zaire and with Kanda Bongo Man in Paris--Diblo formed Loketo (which means "hips") with vocalist Aurlus Mabele in the mid-'80s. Released about the time Loketo broke up (1990), Soukous Trouble is as fine an album as this memorable live band ever recorded. - Amazon | 2:05:39 (MP3 | Pop-up) | ||
