Pots  of variety this week.  Blues, pop, ancestral beats, New Zealand country.

Asfixia, single by Carolina Oliveros. Urgent, demanding, spooky, ethereal,  But that’s the Brooklyn-based Columbiana Oliveros known as the high priestess of sound for her raw lyrics and ancestral rhythm.  This song  is restrained, primal, raw, and in a way, dangerous.  Stream on all major platforms.

“Last Man Standing, single by Buddy Guy and Switchfoot. Award-winning rock band Switchfoot has joined forces with blues legend Buddy Guy for a collaboration unlike “Last Man Standing” a  blistering fusion of rock and blues, searing guitar work, commanding vocals, and bluesy grit.  Stream on Spotify and major platforms

Como Diablos, single by Becky G. A little pop, a lot of regional, a bit of corrido, and all Becky G.  I never get tired of her.  I love how the accordion is an accent not a lead, except then it solos.  Stream on Spotify and other major platforms
