Bombino
In the early ’90s, the nomadic Tuareg people of Niger and Mali (West Africa) rebelled. Laid low by drought and abandoned by governments, they fought to establish a Tuareg nation. That dream was never realized, but the rebellion did inspire a tradition of guitar-wielding rebel rockers with songs of suffering and nostalgia, and Niger’s Bombino (Oumara Moctar) was one of them.
Funk Lion
It is impossible to separate Quebec singer-songwriter Francis Brisebois from his extraordinary creation Funk Lion. On a foundation of rock infused with Afrofuturism, Negro Spiritual Song and Voodoo-funk, the Lion delivers an unforgettable musical experience which is best described as an uninhibited psychedelic carnival where tradition and modernism speak the same funky dialect.

Pascuala Ilabaca Y Fauna
Chile’s Pascuala Ilabaca is considered one of the most prominent talents in Latin America and a leading light in a cohort of exciting young Chilean singer-songwriters who redefined creativity following the dark days of dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Francisco El Hombre
A benchmark for young activistas, the group uses its performances to condemn economic, political and sexual oppression, and to fight for a more unified society. Inspired by a potent cocktail of traditional Brazilian and Afro-Latin music mixed with psychedelic rock and electro-punk, their infectious rhythms and gypsy wanderlust embody a global perspective they describe as “noisy transamerican transculturalism.”
