Podcast 29 - Global South Get Down

Today we've got a selection of music to make you move from outside the standard western fold.  There's a lot of Latin infused tropical electronica coming out these days and I'm loving it.  That's not all we've got though.  We dabble in some middle eastern/Mediterranean flavor and then take it back to where it all came from and check out some Kuduro from Angola and Kapungala from Kenya.  Don't know what those styles are?  Just listen and learn.  Let the global dance party begin.

In the podcast I reference a Buraka Som Sistema video.  Here's the link http://youtu.be/wOMe-8Tf1Y0

And here's a link to the Fauna video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47RZ7CsEcBk

Oh and a random note on listening to podcasts in general, if you listen to podcasts on your iphone , I highly recommend checking out the app Downcast (don't know if it available for android).  It's so much better than the standard iOS player for podcasts.  Best feature of all is that it will automatically download new episodes so you don't have to sync to get them.

Thanks for listening and don't forget to support the artists,

Aaron
