  • The Latin Grammys are Next Week, and Music Times Offers Its (Un)Safe Bets

    The Latin Grammys will broadcast from the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas in one week, November 21. The awards ceremony, the biggest in the wide field of Latin music, offers an appropriately wide range of prizes. Performers across a number of genres will vie for 48 awards.

  • Damon Albarn and Africa Express Showcase Music of Mali on 'Maison Des Jeunes'

    In case you haven't heard it from Lord Jamar recently, the roots of just about all Western music lies somewhere in Africa. That being said, listening to music produced by contemporary African performers can be an exciting shift from what you hear on typical Western radio.
