There’s a sound rising from the foot of the Andes… not one sound, actually—but many.

In the shadows of Chile’s history, in the glow of its digital future, a vibrant chorus is coming alive. It doesn’t play by genre rules. It doesn’t chase algorithm gold. It breathes in protest, poetry, and passion. And for this episode, The Overlooked Tracks Podcast is tuning straight into it.

This is Episode 95, and we’re riding the magical music bus right into the heart of Chile—where independent artists are flipping tradition on its head and remixing cultural roots into something fierce, strange, and deeply human.

Each track on this episode is a postcard. Each lyric a landmark. Each beat a brushstroke of Chile’s ever-shifting, soul-filled soundscape.

Because music? It’s not just what we hear—it’s where we go.

They say the blues is a ghost genre—faded into vinyl grooves and backroom dive bars. They say it’s been overtaken, out-streamed, and out-hyped by shinier sounds and algorithm-friendly beats. 

But let me tell you something, fam... the blues didn’t fade. It just lit a cigarette, leaned against the amp, and watched the world catch up.

This is Episode 94 of Overlooked Tracks, and this time around, we’re not just spinning records—we’re testifying. We’re tuning in to a genre that’s not just alive... but kicking with fresh boots and electric grit.

The DNA of the blues is everywhere—threaded through rock, soaked into soul, sampled in hip-hop, and sizzling inside Americana like being served some southern fried kitchen on a hot sunny day.

Festivals are booking blues acts again. Venues are filling up. And young cats are out there bending notes with fresh pain and wild hope.

For this episode, we’re gonna take a ride—from Maxwell Street grit in Chicago to global groove. We're shining the spotlight on artists who are pushing the genre forward without forgetting where it came from.

Because the blues? The blues is not some museum relic. It’s a living, growling, adaptable spirit. It changes suits, but never loses its edge.

Now turn that volume up. It’s time to feel the weight and the wonder... of the blues!

🎙️ Episode 93 – Keybeaux: Hustle, Heart & Harmony

What’s good, everyone? You’re tuning into the 93rd episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, where the rhythm speaks louder than algorithms and real stories echo past the charts.

For this episode, I had the honor of connecting directly with a creative powerhouse who’s been making major moves behind the mic and behind the boards — Michael Burton, better known as Keybeaux. Through a one-on-one phone conversation, we got real about his journey: from humble beginnings to becoming a self-made artist, entrepreneur, and sound architect. The energy was electric, the insight was deep, and the inspiration? Off the charts.

Rapper. Songwriter. Producer. Engineer. Visionary. Keybeaux doesn’t just make music — he builds movements. And in this convo, he shared his grind, his growth, and the gems that remind us why betting on yourself is the real blueprint.

So press play and settle in. Because this episode isn’t just about listening — it’s about learning from a leader who's building his legacy in real time.

From smoky street corners in Prague to rooftop jam sessions in California, U.S.A. this episode is a sonic passport into the soul of jazz-infused hip hop—a genre where the kick drum swings and the saxophone testifies. We’re talking MPC board meets Miles Davis, boom bap with a blue note twist, and lyricism that sips espresso with Coltrane.

This is the spiritual follow-up to Episode 90, but now the basslines walk, the samples breathe, and the flow is as cool as Thelonious Monk  in mid-solo.

Welcome to Episode 89 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—hosted by me, Kenny Chiba. 🎸🔥

This time, we’re turning the dial all the way up and diving into the thunderous world of rock music—from the underground legends of the past to the genre-benders shaping its future. This episode is for the headbangers, the riff chasers, and anyone who knows that a good guitar solo can speak louder than words.

We’re talking indie rock with bite, heavy metal that hits like a freight train, and the intricate brilliance of Japanese math rock that’ll leave going bananas. But we’re not just about what’s new—we’re also paying homage to overlooked rock from history that still hits  just as hard today. These are the tracks that time tried to forget, but couldn’t silence.

Whether it’s a fuzz-drenched riff from a ‘70s deep cut or a genre-pushing banger from a present-day band on the rise, this episode is proof that rock—real, gut-punching, soul-shaking rock—is timeless.

After an incredible experience in Singapore with IAMTHEONEMANGANG on the Live in the Lab podcast for episode #85, I almost forgot I had another journey lined up—this time to the captivating Kingdom of Spain. It was my first visit back since the early days of the COVID pandemic, and I was eager to immerse myself once again in Spain’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and mouthwatering cuisine. While the Magical Music Bus stayed in Singapore under good care, I traveled from Southeast Asia to the heart of Europe, ready to uncover more hidden musical treasures.
