【MV】Quetzal Guerrero & Oveous Maximus - Day in the Life
Quetzal Guerrero，身上流著美國原住民（Aztec/Nahuatl）、巴西、墨西哥等血液，小時候受過正統的音樂訓練，2010年，在被Osunlade的唱片公司Yoruba Records簽下後，近日推出一張頗具質感的專輯，Now。
在這張專輯裡，我們可以感受到那細膩的、遠離喧囂的「心靈空間」，究竟是怎麼一回事。被世間事物糾纏的現代人，成為物質、非物質、人性、非人性的奴隸，這與其他也流著血液的動、植物，又有何不同之處呢？
Quetzal Guerrero藉著他的聲音、樂器（小提琴、吉他、鍵盤等等），傳達一份深刻的人性之美，不知你是否也感同身受呢？
附錄一
本名Ove Salcedo的Oveous Maximus，多明尼加共合國的後裔，始終堅持用詩句表達其思緒。2009年，他發表了一張不易瞭解的專輯Future Intentions，2010年，接緒的The Iambic Moment，同樣是以音樂佐詩歌的手法，將「概念」集合推出。有點難嚼，但保證有意義。
Oveous Maximus也被Yoruba Records簽下，持續他的詩路。

【夢女】Darryl Moore - Where I'm At
非常好的一首單曲，由曾參與John Singleton執導電影Poetic Justice的電影原聲帶製作人之一的Derek "DOA" Allen所製作，品質是可以信賴的。
演唱人Darryl Moore是美國加州的一間獨立唱片公司SomeOthaShip Connect旗下音樂人。SomeOthaShip Connect是以Declaime aka Dudley Perkins與Georgia Anne Muldrow為首的集團，另外尚有Kadence、Quazadelic aka Stan Sly、Stacy Epps、Darryl Moore、Riff Raff、Oji，目前正朝著結合HipHop、Soul等新音樂形式目標邁進。
這裡有Darryl Moore的介紹：

（抽出一段介紹：Darryl Moore’s years of hard work has not escaped the attention of the industry. His acclaimed contribution to Gorilla Zoe’s hit “Life of a Hustla” ensured Mr. Moore’s name would be whispered among those in the know. These nods of approval would reach as high an academia as Darryl has the distinction of contributing his vocals to “Soul Sista” a collaboration with Cornell West on his “Never Forget a Journey of Street Revelations” album. The record featured the likes of Andre 3000, Jill Scott and Gerald Levert, an impressive feat that seems to predict more greatness ahead from this talented artist.）
聲音有點Anthony Hamilton的感覺，新專輯Where I'm At於5月正式發行。

這種復古不忘創新的「flavor」
絕非普通流行唱片所能提供的
請喚回正統的靈魂樂吧Jaheim

【赤忱】Ebrahim - Live Sessions Volume II
Ebrahim，加拿大人，2007年出版一張高度評價的專輯Goldrush，上萬張全部售罄，少見的地下音樂成績。
Tears of Ayanna
他的音樂同樣融合多種曲風，但身為白人（擁有中東血統）的他擁有的視野可能與黑人不盡相同，音樂的柔軟與延伸確實恰如其分。

【義式】Luca Dimoon
Born in Milan (Italy) in 1982, first son of a Sicilian painter (ex-Jazz musician) L. started his relationship with music, breathing his father’s collection of Motown and Blue Note records, and at the age of 8, he joined the local Church Choir. Though his musical sensitivity was already proved, the interest for visual arts was more explicit so he studied Fine Arts to develop his impressive skills as a young painter and sculptor. “Music was more like a private passion, singing was a pure device to express my instinctive feelings, Fine Arts where for me the natural way to describe concepts of the philosophies that I was beginning to explore” It was after moving to London by him self, that music took his spirit completely and became the absolute priority. His decision was to concentrate the whole artistic energy, improving his gift by learning to play Piano, Guitar and Bass. The first two songs that he recorded, attracted a few important offers from different Major Labels, but they all wanted to pull him into the role of a Pop R’n’B Act, inevitably, Luca’s deep artistic integrity made him refuse those offers. The situation was complicated, until he signed a short deal with an Independent Label who got him in a successful Compilation that went number one in the charts , and sold over 700.000 copies. An intense musical research extended his performances to New York City, where he begun to create the first album, composed, written, produced and performed by himself. In the last years, after joining several groups like the “Harlem Gospel Choir” (Harlem Messengers), the “ Conjectures Jazz Quartet”, and the “Funky Mutiny“, L. participated to various music festivals, and a few moths ago he was called to sing for the Sound Track of an upcoming Hollywood Movie. Lately he has been producing tracks for other artists, but at the moment as well as performing live around the globe, Luca is working on his new studio projects. If you listen intimately to the songs, their message transcends the emotions provoked, he explains: “ I paint lyrics with sounds to amplified the meanings ”.（取自MySpace介紹，新專輯製作中，請期待）

【MV】Alsarah ft. Oddisee - Vote
蘇丹裔的美國布魯克林人
這首歌曲是描述蘇丹近24年來首次有多黨參與的選舉
雖然過程仍然十分不民主
發生許多諸如投票投好幾天等等奇怪的現象
這可能只是一場徒具形式的投票式民主
而至少是現狀的突破
Alsarah與同樣有著蘇丹血緣Oddisee的觀點又是如何呢？
