La Société des Ambianceurs et Personnes Elégantes  (SAPE!)

The smaller, less-troubled Congolese Republic (often called Congo-Brazzaville after its capital city) is bursting with style and grace, thanks in large part to its amazing musical heritage. Sample some classics and unheard gems right here:

A Surreal Canadian Dream Team

One of the most exciting Canadian collabs to manifest in many moons right here!  Throat-singing, abstract hip hop, sublime production, and hallucinogenic animation.  Artists at the top of their game.  (hey same goes for Canada’s hockey team)

Breaking Sound Barriers: Persian Flamenco!

Just when you think there ain’t nothing new..  Presenting Farnaz Ohadi, whose sublime new spin on Flamenco is a world of its own.  Farnaz sings in Farsi and incorporates Persian instrumentation, yet her music still remains faithful to the Spanish roots of Flamenco.  Hear an exclusive interview with Farnaz, as she shares brand new music from her debut Bird Dance LP, out October 1st (along with an album release show):
