On this week's programme:
The ’80s albums of the Dur-Dur Band from Somalia are the latest archive project from the Analog Africa label.
Ostinato Records also featured the Dur-Durs on last year’s Somalian compilation, and the label’s current compilation is from Sudan between 1974 and the mid-90s. Later in the programme is Ostinato’s new single release from Cape Verde.
World Circuit’s series of re-releases on vinyl includes two from Cuba: the Afro Cuban All Stars, who were very interlinked with the Buena Vistas, and were recorded in the same sessions, and the later release from master bassist Cachaito.
Hugo Fattoruso, Uruguayan band leader, revisits the Latin jazz-funk of his ’70s and ‘80s career.
Kobo Town is the vehicle for Trinidadian Drew Gonsalves and his contemporary calypso style.

Two Cuban expats, Omar Sosa and Yilian Cañizares, join forces on “Aguas”.
