A fairly zesty and cosmopolitan playlist for you this week, featuring the strident Brazilian psych of Boogarins and the Saharan post-industrial trance of Ifriqiyya Electrique, not to mention the return of Santana with a distinctly African groove. We welcome Switzerland’s L’Eclair and London-based Nigerian Obongjayar to the party, while there’s an intriguing team-up between evergreen UK rapper Roots Manuva and Sugar Hill/Tackhead/Living Color’s Doug Wimbish. Plus strong new tunes from Jenny Lewis, Mekons, Animal Collective’s Avey Tare and Pond covering Madonna! Dig in…
