We're just past the midway point in 2011, so it's time to take stock. This week on Global A Go-Go, it's the best of 2011 so far. Lots of great releases so far this year -- Afrobeat, Latin, Caribbean, global remixe-y stuff, West African reissues, and a bunch of sui generis items, like the disc pictured above (Shangaan electro-gospel, I guess you'd have to call it).
