→ Starting off the week back in the UK dancefloor jazz scene from the 80/90's with strong latin flavors and the new Chris Bangs (pioneer of acid jazz), then off to the vibrant Melbourne scene with house duo Close Counters's new EP "THE DON" then to Medellin and Lagos with Colombia based Bosq and Benin/Nigeria guitarist Kaleta partnering for an entire new album. Looking back at 2015's LP from Yemenite-Israeli sisters trio A-WA and wrapping it up in Cape Verde with some coladeira by national icons Os Apolos. Enjoy!
