SMTG Limited ~ Four releases to support Haiti
Is ‘world music’ still possible? After all, the premise of it runs closely to that of colonial pasts, to the image of the 19th century anthropologist that turns cultures into curiosities, into preconceived slideshows of noble savages merged into natural

São Paulo Underground ~ Beija Flors Velho E Sujo
And now, something completely different: Beija Flors Velho E Sujo, an eclectic, experimental rush through sexy, South American streets, and it’s unlike anything you’ve heard before. That last sentence has been echoed throughout the decades; nowadays, it may be greeted with

Kaboom Karavan ~ Hokus Fokus
