Description
Dónal presents a fourth instalment of the rough guide to the year in new music 2021.
This leg of the journey takes in more sounds of resistance from the streets of Philadelphia and Cleveland before celebrating some UK DIY masterpieces from Bristol, London and Glasgow. There's also another example of that particularly unique kind of magic coming from the Equiknoxx crew in Jamaica as well as a journey deep into Arabic soul courtesy of MSYLMA from Cairo and a reminder of the enduring power of Fish Go Deep productions out of Cork city.
