Julius Kojo Antwi, Ghana’s Afro Pop Star is back with his 13th album, packed with the right amount of zest and is as joyful an experience as he ever conjured, a solid and fine work with striking melodies.

 Luke Bassuener has never been much of a purist in his love for African music. "I thought Ali Farka Touré and Fugazi made perfect sense together," he tells The A.V. Club, which explains the basic mix of sounds at work in his own band, This Bright Apocalypse. But his latest project is a much more unlikely interaction.
During his stints working as a volunteer teacher in the village of Zebilla in northern Ghana, Bassuener used his portable four-track recorder to document obscure musicians from around the country's Bawku West District playing in different local traditions—a church choir, a young man named Azubire riffing on a one-stringed instrument called the kone, a group called Saka Boys combining vocals with traditional percussion and gonje (a violin-like gourd instrument).
