Lizzy Mercier Descloux will keep me going this season. I’m a sucker for afro pop, and her music is weaved with african funk/jazz/blues/punk/experimental influences. I really wish more artists had tried to tackle this genre. She slowly became a staple of New York’s
No Wave movement in the early 80′s, but found most of her success in Europe after two tours through Africa.

Zulu Rock have to be two of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Check her out.
Lizzy Mercier Descloux – Sports Spootnicks
Lizzy Mercier Descloux – Room Mate
Lizzy Mercier Descloux – Sun Is Shining
