A mix where the old and the wired meet. Meredith Monk and Brian Eno set an open, ambient ground, and the room slowly fills with the organic electronics of Nicola Cruz, El Búho and Umoja —folkloric sound run through synth and dub, earth and circuitry breathing together. Buena Vista Social Club’s sound drifts past Sessa and Rodrigo Amarante’s Brazilian softness, Jaubi’s raga-jazz and the Arab edges of Maurice Louca and Hello Psychaleppo. A long, roaming listen that never settles in one place for long.
