American rapper GoldLink’s second album stretches far beyond his home in the DMV. It is a confluence of black music; hip-hop tracing its way back to the universal sounds of Africa.

Jungle
Jungle is an English modern soul musical collective based in London. Jungle's musical style has been described as "midtempo 1970s-style funk" and their music is intermixed with "tropical percussion, wildlife noises, falsetto yelps, psychedelic washes and badoinking bass" The band has a fearsome live reputation: "Jungle are a spectacular live band," say DIY. My girlfriend calls them Earth Wind & Fire's baby.
