I guess by now you know I'm a big fan of African and Caribbean music - well this new mixtape is full of my latest discoveries, including other-worldly singer Debbie Gaskin from Barbados, who recorded some tracks with the "Eternal Love Combo" in Toronto some years ago (it was released on Local Dish > check out!) - wonderful! Side B brings us some dope African reggae numbers such as Zig-Zag Band from Zimbabwe and a skanky raï serenade by the one and only Cheba Zahouania. The story ends with a great song by Lovers, performed here by german band The Notwist on their latest album.
