Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 8 - February 2020 /// Ibeyi - Ash

I’m more familiar with Super Taranta, but it’s a fun band to listen to ! They also popped up a bit in the party playlists from my uni years. :)
Yeah, I haven't listened to them much since college either, that's a fun record. I think I heard of them because of the movie Everything Is Illuminated, which Eugene Hutz co-starred in, iirc.
 
I didn't pick them as the AotM, even if it would have forced @Skalap to convert his whole CD collection onto vinyl, because I didn't want to pick another white dudes band. But one thing I kept in mind was the multilingual side of Mano Negra, they never cared, they sung in spanish, french, english or even in arab (Sidhi Hbibi, a real banger).
So if this isn´t a hint. AOTM band probably not led by a caucasian male as they would put it on csi.
 
This is the location of the Zuma Rock. According to Wikipedia Zuma Rock is a large monolith, an igneous intrusion composed of gabbro and granodiorite, that is located in Niger State, Nigeria.
