Bogotá-based band and Latin Grammy-winners Diamante Eléctrico are hitting their stride with a new album, Leche De Tigre, Spanish for “Tigermilk,” recorded in Mexico City where the band reunited to work on new songs.

Iris DeMent wants us to love each other despite our opposing views, and her songs are her way of helping us heal. A John Prine collaborator/contributor whose sounds are rooted in gospel and old country, DeMent’s seventh album was spurred by the 2016 election, yet is still relevant today. “Nothin’ For The Dead” has a timeless feel.

A founding member of Brooklyn garage-rock band Habibi , Rahill has a reputation for distilling an eclectic range of melodies that lean into her Iranian-American upbringing.

Growing up under the constrictions facing South Africa’s Christian gay population, Nakhane ignites their new album Bastard Jargon with potent dancefloor numbers that suggest sex. “Tell Me Your Politik” features Moonchild and the inimitable Nile Rogers, who also executive produced the album.
