Aside

Los Hijos del Sol – Linda Muñequita
 

One of the biggest surprises of the year for me has been my growing affection for world music. It has literally come from nowhere.

I know virtually nothing about these guys (they may be from Peru) and even less about what they are singing about (feel free to enlighten me if you are able). However, this has been stuck in my head since I heard it on Tom Ravenscroft’s 6music show last week. The jangly guitar is completely infectious.

Aside

Gene Chandler – Duke of Earl

This is classic early soul with something of a doo wop sound. The vocal is remarkably good.
