CHEB I SABBAH (www.chebisabbah.com)

Dj'ing since 1964 in Paris, Cheb I Sabbah is a key figure in the history of the world/electronic fusion sound, and of the art of DJ'ing itself. He recently returned to his native North Africa to gather the raw material for his most ambitious project to date, La Kahena, featuring all women singers.

ALBINO! (www.albinoband.com)

Featuring ex-members of Spearhead and Hamsa Lila, The 14 members of Berkeley's ALBINO! are an ass-inspiriting percussive engine informed by Fela Kuti and brought up to date with a mash of spacey global inflections (think of Herbie's Headhunters shanghaied in West Africa, and you'll be up to speed).
