There's plenty of food for thought in Putumayo's delicious Afro-Latin Party. Like the previous Putumayo compilations Afro-Latino and From Congo to Cuba, the 10 tracks here document the fascinating musical marriage between Africa and Cuba that has seen the original African rhythms brought to Cuba by slaves evolve and migrate back east across the ocean to influence a new generation of African music (and in the process produce offspring everywhere from Croatia to Portland, Oregon). Enjoy a happy and uplifting album that will transport you.

Acclaimed Israeli-born, New York-based guitarist and composer Oz Noy strains against boundaries, creating intuitive, fluid sonic art suspended somewhere between blues anguish, rock power, and the rich harmonic density of jazz. The live 'Asian Twistz' may just be the purest distillation of his vision yet.

Born in Dakar, from a Mauritanian father and Senegalese mother, the cultural mixes are very much part of her identity. His life experience turned her into a natural fighter. In her family universe, she was soon rocked by acoustic music of Tracy Chapman that her mom is a fan. As a young child Marema sings. As a young adult, Marema starts composing, writing and singing her own repertoire.

Multi-talented Malian singer/songwriter Awa Sangho is a charismatic new solo star on the world music scene. After singing with Salif Keita, Ali Farka Toure, Oumou Sangare, Manu Dibango, Amadou & Mariam and the pioneering all-girl group Les Go De Koteba that she co-founded, Awa left Bamako in 2011 to move to New York City to commit to her own creative life. The beautiful original songs on Ala Ta (The Truth Belongs to God), her masterful debut on Motéma Music, represent her "Afropolitan" experience of leaving Africa but never leaving it behind.

Makan « Badjé » Tounkara is a jali, a griot. He is the grandson of the great Djeli Baba Sissoko (1922-2001), who was acknowledged by his peers as the “leader of Malian Jalis” in the 1990s.

Sourire aux lèvres, la liberté plus que jamais chevillée au corps, Johnny nous livre un troisième album profond et énigmatique, ZANZIBAR. - - Ce troisième opus de la trilogie du Narvalo, a été enregistré, réalisé et sublimé par Jean Lamoot, courant 2022, entre Paris (Mercredi 9) et Carpentras (Studio Véga). Création collective avec ses frères, Kik (harmonicas), Ronan Drougard (guitares électriques) et Steven Goron (batteries) qui le suivent corps et âmes depuis tant d’années, ce recueil de 13 titres nous prend au large de son imagination, si ancrée, pourtant, dans la réalité, comme sur « Vers les Îles », dans lequel il invite Rosemary Standley, chanteuse solaire de Moriarty, à partir au large avec lui, et nous offre là un duo magnifique. - - Fixi (Java, Tony Allen), Camille Bazbaz et Guimba Kouyaté, guitariste de Salif Keita, viennent embellir subtilement cette jolie partition. - - Des chansons d’amours, des tempos volontairement plus posés, une voix plus affinée et de somptueuses adaptations en français, de The Clash (Rebel Waltz), Hank Williams (I Heard that lonesome whistle blow) ou de Johnny Cash (What do I care), viennent compléter le tableau si joliment dressé de sa chère et tendre banlieue.
