Wanted to link to this because there are so many incredible people doing really interesting things with sound! This is only a tiny percentage of local flavor but in my mind a taste is better than nothing. Some part time allstonites designed the colorful snippet above, and since I feel damn lucky to have met these folks I wanted to share with whoever might be looking 'round these parts.
All the downloads are free, so check them all out when you got some to go on a new music spree! I have my favorites but I'll keep that to myself as I want all the artists to get equal attention : D If you love what you're hearing (and that goes for the cd listed below as well) lovingly toss some support their way. And check back periodically, it has recently been created so I'm thinking there will be more added as time goes on.
ALSO!
Found this on afrobeat-music blog, check it out ,
