DJ Cheb i Sabbah

Over the years, DJ Cheb i Sabbah has developed an increasingly fluid touch when it comes to mixing the traditional music of India and North Africa with the hypermodern sound of electronica. Devotion, his latest offering is a celebratory groove excursion that brings Sufi, Sikh and Hindu influences together in harmony.

Senor Flavio

With legendary Argentine rockers Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Señor Flavio helped define Rock En Español in the ’90s. His new album Supersaund 2012 ripples with the reggae and ska sound that put LFC on the map, but also offers a fresh brew of punk, garage, and psychobilly—a raucous cocktail that’s sure to propel Flavio to the indie forefront once again.

Cuban-born pianist and composer Omar Sosa has made a career out of fusing Latin music with jazz, but his latest album Afreecanos marks a significant leap forward, bringing together musicians from all over Africa, Cuba, Brazil and France.
