Hailing not 40 miles from my parents of hometown of Coli Al Volturno, Italia is the Naples based Spaccanapli (Divided Naples). The best way for me to tell you about them is just to have you listen.
Fresh from Nacional Records, run by Tomas Cookman who brought us the international star Manu Chao, is Spanish-Harlem based Pacha Massive.
The best musical group in America, Antibalas, just recorded a song with Radio 4 called “The World is Waiting.” (disclosure, this song is part of the soundtrack of my film “Let Fury Have the Hour.”) After leaving the studio, they headed directly to Boston to battle The Roots in a Soundclash. An unbelievable spectacle that must be seen. Video after the jump.
