| | Bar Bhangra CD
Bhangra is a variety of northwest Indian pop music that came to the U.K. with the first significant wave of Panjabi immigrants in the 1960s; over the following decades bhangra became more and more popular, to the point that it is now a club/dance phenomenon, a seamless fusion of traditional melodies and instrumentation and up-to-the-minute electronic breakbeats. Bar Bhangra offers an excellent introduction to the modern bhangra scene, with tracks by such established names as Panjabi MC, Achanak, and Sahara as well as relative newcomers like Sukhi Dhala and Amanpreet Kaur. Highlight tracks include Sahara's cool and funky "Dhol Track," the generically titled but scintillatingly jungle-flavored "Bhangra Fever" by MIDIval PunditZ, and Raghav's excellent "Teri Baaton (Your Words)," which effectively recycles the classic "Sleng Teng" rhythm. Let this fine compilation lead you to similarly exciting releases by T.J. Rehmi, the State of Bengal, and Dhol Foundation. ~ Rick Anderson

Having released nine or ten LPs over 16 years, New Brunswick, NJ's Croc Shop (formerly Crocodile Shop) are one of those electronic industrial bands that has built up a loyal following, yet has remained off the radar for the rest of indie-dom. But the genre is a stubborn one, going back to pioneering efforts by Front 242 (Croc Shop have opened for them) and Nitzer Ebb, and have been pulled along here in the 1980s by a rabid scene down South (especially in Florida). Croc Shop have managed to stand out from the hordes of like-minded computer programmer/musician geeks with their background in Goth and Joy Division, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, '80s Wire (with whom leader Mick Hale toured back then, as a member of the Ex-Lion ...

The second CD from Bat Makumba, 'Boteco' is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fuse into one. What a mix eh? Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2. Sprouting from the brains of Brazilian natives Alex Köberle and Emiliano Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the crossroads between the traditional music of their equatorial homeland and the punk, rock and funk influences of the US and UK. With the addition of David Gibbs on reeds and flute, Noah Waldman on drums and Jason Moen on keyboards, the group began digging deep furrows in the vast musical confluence of their upbringings and germinated original music that was ethnic and rockin', blending the influences of Latin American traditionalism with modern rock, funk and ska. Named after the 70s classic Tropicalia song by Caetano Veloso + Gilberto Gil (popularized by Os Mutantes), Bat Makumba sows the fields of Brazilian drums with the seeds of electric guitars to create the wordly funk-rock-percussion sound they have come to be known for. Their eponymous first album was self-produced and self-released in 2003, and it earned the band a 2004 California Music Award for Outsanding Latin Alternative Album, and the band went on to receive a SF Weekly Music Award for Best World band in 2006. Bat Makumba's latest harvest - Boteco - shows the maturing of the the band's song-writing and recording capabilities. Funk and rock mix with frevo, samba, baião, and maracatu to form the musical groundwork for the lyrics in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Don't miss this kinetic, percussive sound... join the renegade carnaval party that is Bat Makumba!'This San Francisco trio takes Latin fusion back to the edge, reinventing Brazil minute-by-minute and injecting samba with rock and funk experimentalism. Stroll through their songs on Carl Remde's fat bass lines, tiptoe atop Emiliano Benevides' sparkling percussion, or simply absorb the universal exuberance ...
