With “Sagherat Assani,” the Grammy-award-winning inventors of the desert blues announce the upcoming release of their tenth studio album, Hoggar. Teaming up with Sudanese singer Sulafa Elyas, Tinariwen perform this traditional song that Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni and his band member Japonais (who passed away in 2021) first encountered in the Libyan-Sudanese border town Al Kufrah in 1989. “We loved it so much that Japonais learned it, then played it again and again, allowing it to travel and endure,” says Alhousseyni.

The Rio-based project Pra Gira Girar have released a new version of the song “Atabaque Chora“, originally by the trio Os Tincoãs. Written by Dadinho and Mateus Aleluia, the song opened the group’s legendary self-titled 1977 album. The single very much follows in the steps of Os Tincoãs with its close harmonic spaces and Afro-Brazilian chants that made their music so innovative and special. "Deixa a Gira Girar" is the second single released by the group Pra Gira Girar in homage to the Bahian trio Os Tincoãs.

Parlor Greens is an American soul-jazz band formed in Loveland, Ohio. Parlor Greens' take on Dolly Parton's classic Jolene with their trademark funky organ sound! Gritty Hammond organ takes the melody while Jimmy James' signature rhythm guitar drives the whole thing! Tim Carman holds it down on the kit nice and tight keeping everything right in the pocket in a way that would make Dolly proud!
