Songs will overlap but I'd recommend starting off with the Skeletal Essences cd.

I have heard of this band. I need to check their music out. I will definitively try that in the near future.

Sorry if this band & album have been mentioned already.

Egyptian/Sudanese collective, Rango. Their 2010 album, Bride of the Zar, was my favorite release of the year. Here's a nice review of the album:

Rango - "Bride of The Zar" - World Music

I would love to see this group live!

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
