5. "Oi Na Dubovi" - Trendafilka - For The Olives [Trendafilka: 2024]
   Notes: New Orleans-based Trendafilka (named after the Balkan wild rose) is an eleven-piece vocal ensemble that draws its repertoire from traditional folk songs from areas of Eastern Europe - the Balkans, the Baltics, the Caucasus, and the Eurasian Steppe - that hold rich cultural traditions of polyphonic singing.

9. "Evagoras" - Thanasis Kleopas - Sacred Harmony [Seikilo Ancient: 2024]
   Notes: Sometimes the old ways are the best ways. The ancient Greeks knew and utilized the healing power of music.

10. "Wa Jo" - Les Amazones d'Afrique - single [Real World: 2024]

13. "Gara" - Songhoy Blues - single [Transgressive: 2024]
    Notes: One of Mali's most cherished and acclaimed bands, SONGHOY BLUES have today announced the release of their fourth album, 'Héritage'. The album features some of Mali's most renowned musicians & vocalists, including Afel Bocoum, Rokia Koné, Neba Solo, Madou Diabaté and more.

15. "a la Vuelta mound mambo" - Argueso/Orchestra - single [Secret Stash: 2024]
    Notes: The late 1950s saw a surge in the popularity of Mambos and Cha Chas in the United States. Few artists were more instrumental in this trend than Argueso & His Orchestra. Their 1959 hit, "A Vuelta Mundo Mambo," introduced complex Latin rhythms to American audiences of all backgrounds. Keeping with this tradition, Freddy Fresh's remix updates the swinging Latin sound to reach a broader modern audience.

In London, Taylor collaborated with Nigerian afrobeat Initiator Fela Kuti as well as other African musicians in Britain at the time.
19. "Amor Enfeiticado" - Carlos Dafe - Jazz Is Dead 021 [Jazz Is Dead: 2024]
    Notes: Carlos Dafé was instrumental in establishing Brazil's Black Rio Movement, where Afro-Brazilians came together to develop a funk & dance scene that challenged Brazil's dictatorship. The stories continue, but the aim for Jazz Is Dead 021 remains the same: to "give all of these maestros their flowers while they can still smell them and share all of the vibrant music with fans for decades to come."
