This month’s installment features new (old) – or should that be old (new) Afrobeat from Nigeria from Soundway’s forthcoming Nigeria Afrobeat Special compilation and music from Benin’s Orchestre Poly Rythmo.

Also, a special silent feature on Sub Tropic’s favorite new band (and David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label’s latest signing) all the way from Providence New York via Brooklyn: Javelin – hear them here before they go and get all big and famous.
