Dónal presents a third instalment of the rough guide to the year in new music, 2021.   This leg of the journey includes some very modern takes on classical music from India and Guatemala via Mexico as well fresh rap sounds from Paris and Jamaica and an African percussion supergroup based in London. There's innovative electronic compositions from Peru, Belgium, Canada and South Africa as well as a whole bunch of more reasons why Chicago was on the edge of the new frontier once again in 2021.   Support the music-makers on Bandcamp:   Bitchin Bajas https://bitchinbajas.bandcamp.com/album/switched-on-ra   Gilb'R https://gilbr.bandcamp.com/   Ben LaMar Gay  https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/open-arms-to-open-us   JAMIRE WILLIAMS  https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/but-only-after-you-have-suffered   Mabe Fratti https://tinangelrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ser-que-ahora-podremos-entendernos   Arushi Jain https://arushijain.bandcamp.com/album/under-the-lilac-sky   Purelink, Millia Rage https://purelink.bandcamp.com/track/maintain-the-bliss   Equiknoxx https://equiknoxx.bandcamp.com/album/basic-tools-mixtape   serpentwithfeet https://serpentwithfeet.bandcamp.com/album/deacon   Native Soul https://nativesoulsa.bandcamp.com/album/teenage-dreams   Sofia Kourtesis https://sofiakourtesis.bandcamp.com/album/fresia-magdalena   ØlstrØm https://olstrom.bandcamp.com/album/udrydde-takeover-ep   LNS https://jaydag.bandcamp.com/track/bitumen   Balimaya project https://balimayaproject.bandcamp.com/album/wolo-so     ///
