Moor Mother ~ The Great Bailout

Seldom does an album catch a listener so off guard, enthralling and entertaining in equal measure.  The Great Bailout is another in a string of confrontational triumphs for Moor Mother (Camae Ayewa), who was last heard on Aho Ssan’s Rhizomes.  The collaborations

CLARAGUILAR ~ Figura

Witness the birth of a superstar.  CLARIGUILAR is a larger-than life figure, confidently sporting capital letters (a portmanteau of Clara Aguilar) and wearing the most physics-defying dress since J.Lo’s tropical green Versace gown. Few artists ever have a stylist and
