Nesrine – «Ya Lil»A voice that oozes suggestion in a rhythmic Franco-Algerian backdrop of cellos. Warmth and sensibility, yet dynamic enough to weave the threads seamlessly until you’re left with a rather comfortable garment that you’ll want to wear again – and again.
13th Ward Social Club, santadolora & Agent-X – «Chan Chan»Making a remix of such an iconic song is not a task to be taken lightly. Chan Chan (by Compay Segundo) is still extremely highly regarded both in Cuba and around the world (thanks to Buena Vista Social Club), and the melody is recognizable from the start. But soon a fresh and eclectic twist hits the ears, and perhaps much of the recommendation here is that they managed to mix such a monumental song so well.
