here's more in, international

Miguel Romero's release; "Welcome to My World" is very cool. Miguel Romero was born in Cuba and moved to the U.S. when he was 10. His mother is a santera, participant of a syncretistic Caribbean religion, and Miguel grew up hearing Yoruba music, thus incorporating it into his repertoire. On this album, you are welcomed to this musical world of Yoruba, jazz, funk, rock, rhumba, charanga, timba…and more. This is a creative compilation with an aged essence.
here are some of the tracks that i recommend:
#2. Middle Eastern sound instrumental
#3. Yoruba
#5. soulful female vocals, residents-esque music.
#7. may skip#9. another good one with soulful female vocals.

Offering playfully electronic pop music, “for the little kid in us all,” Ruben Albarran created this first solo album for his first born. These are mostly instrumental tracks, though you hear some female vocals…his wife’s. I can appreciate his familial intent more then the tracks’ tendency to linger. If you like daft punk, I think you’ll like this.
I recommend these tracks:
#3: Tablas, female vocals
#7: bell beginning & mouth harp, transcends into a robust beat-a-thon.
#8: sampled baby coos, melody & some stringed instruments, male vocals.
#10: an electronic lullaby#11: quiet and atmospheric

Formerly known as Alma Latina, Radio Mundial (World Radio) is “Latin inspired Funk.” This album was produced by Yerba Buena’s Andres Levin, and it’s feel is similarly high energy…even during the slower songs. No soul was lost in the name change.
check out these tracks:
#2: Most catchy track on album.
#3
#8: sweet sounds for the soul.
#11
