I've already said how's the music coming from Africa is amazing and innovative: Zouglou from the Ivory Coast, Azonto from Ghana and Naija from Nigeria are major shifts in music we can only dream of in Europe or North America.
But there are other really interesting things going on on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, especially in Cuba and Santo Domingo. While in the Dominican Republic artists sound fresh and innovative in the Dembow genre, there are many excellent orchestras in Cuba bringing forward the Timba tradition and mixing it with jazz, soul and other modern sounds. One of the most important and long lived orchestras is Juan Formell's Los Van Van. Here's one of their best songs which gives the name to one of their best albums.
