The latest and greatest sound in electronic dance music comes all the way from Limpopo, in northeast South Africa: that's the birthplace of Soweto-based producer Richard Mthetwa, aka Nozinja (above center, with two members of the Tshetsha Boys).
Nozinja's first-world debut album Lodge has just been released by Warp Records, and it's a blast. You'll hear two tracks from it on this week's show, plus one by the Tshetsha Boys.
Also this week: contemporary son oriente from Cuba; calypso, konpa and highlife; and some new music from Mali and Niger.
