Hey Claudio,

I have a nice collection of current and upcoming releases I wanted to make sure you knew about. 

Check the links below for streams, downloads, and info. Let me know if something looks interesting!
 

Ventanas - Flamenco Meets Sephardic on New Ventanas album
06/05/2015
Though they sprang from the same soil and from closely related languages, flamenco and Sephardic Jewish song could not be more different. Flamenco burns with passion and fury, and performances reach an emotional fever pitch. Sephardic singers let the wry tales in songs speak for themselves, with reserved precision.

What they’ve created shines out on their debut album

Bicicletas Por La Paz - Bicicletas Por La Paz: A Latin Funk Circus, Belief on Two Wheels with Musica Por Puppets
06/30/2015
There’s a quiet revolution going on. A very quiet revolution, just pedals and tires on blacktop. A bicycle revolution. And that band up ahead? That’s the soundtrack to it all, made by Bicicletas Por La Paz, a group of musicians and bike activists. And their debut, Musica Por Puppets (released June 30, 2015) is their manifesto.

Raging Fyah - The Reggae Destiny of Raging Fyah: The Sound of Soul, Sunshine, and Positive Vibes
08/11/2015
It’s the sound of the sun. Bright and uplifting. Brotherhood in a song, with the kind of melody that generates smiles. The feel reggae had back in the 1970s when politics and a natural groove went hand in hand. That’s the music of Raging Fyah. “That ‘70s vibe is completely natural for us,” says singer and guitarist Kumar Bent.
