Musical mayhem with Bollywood James Bond, fiery Cuban grooves and Korean indie

Bachar Mar-Khalife: Beirut groover

Peter Culshaw’s latest global round-up of new music and reissues features the usual spendidly earbending eclectic selection.

There’s 1960s Indian lounge, 1970s Senegalese music unearthed by the ever-adventurous Analog Africa label, Arabic Jazz and a Cuban song about the dangers of lechery, not to mention hot off the press Four Tet and a couple of tracks from Lebanon’s brilliant current art-pop export Bachar Mal-Khalife. Two top Korean indie tunes are introduced by musician Jim Kim, and guest presenter Germaine-Nicol Hughes from the Asgard Agency plays some country blues and a token organic techno track. All that, plus some shaken and stirred Bollywood James Bond.
