10-KUTIMAN-Thru-You: Kutiman Mixes Youtube (Kutiman)
Our trip around the best non Anglo-Saxon music, coming from the five continents of the globe, this year has stopovers in Cuban rap; new French chanson; veterans of Japanese psychedelia; collaborations between cult indie acts from Japan and Scotland; African residents in the UK; tuareg blues; Swedish wall of sound pop; a Malian diva; the king of Rai himself and a curious sonic experiment Israeli musician Kutiman has made via cut and paste of youtube videos. Quite a diverse menu for people with open ears only.
