To Find You, video by Athena Adreadis. Athena has encased a beautiful, emotional song in a stop motion video created by an international  team led by Chantal Rosengurt. using Origami  that perfectly matches the heart of the music. YouTube at  https://bit.ly/3SploxF

Insomnia,  single, by Matt Jaffee. Twangy, mysterious guitar underlies Jaffee’s equally mysterious voice and swirling lyrics. Brilliant, top of the playlist material. First song off of upcoming album Pinch Me. Stream on Spotify.

El After, EP by Quiensave. I recommended the first song  from this EP a couple of weeks ago. Now the EP is out and it does not disappoint. Seven funky, funny, cumbia earworms. Spanish. Stream on Spotify, iTunes.

Reflexion, album by Eljuri. I Recommended “La Voz” the second  song from this album and now the full album is out and it will blow you away. Eljuri is one of a kind, one of the best guitarists in the world, with  an unbelievably deft hand at songwriting and composing. You can get high or get down on the 12 songs on this album. She does it all.   Download at the Apple Store and GooglePlay. Spanish and English.  Singles on Spotify.

Tributaries, remix by El Búho. The second volume of El Búho’s “Tributaries” remix compilation  with club bangers, love songs,   and slow, psychedelic electronic cumbia from the jungles of Columbia . This album brings a wide range of styles and fusions –  a unique sound from a unique artist. Stream on Spotify.

Déjenme  (Let Me Cry), single by Carla Morrison. A song from her 2012  album updated and nominated for a Grammy this year- her first! And it reminds us all why she is so good and won 3 Latin Grammys. Stream on Spotify

BONUS:  Scream Warriors, album  by LVCRFT. How can we not listen to this funny, camp, over-the-top trying to be spooky Halloween album? . A barrel of rock and roll laughs.
