I had a lot of new music this week, including Gui Boratto’s III, and the track “The Third.”

I also liked Frank Ocean’s new track, “Swim Good.”

Natalia Lafourcade’s “Hu Hu Hu” continues in heavy rotation on my iPod. Here’s the title track.

But one of the coolest new albums this week belongs to Miguel Migs. I really like the track with Bebel Gilberto, “Zuzu,” which is available as a free download on Soundcloud:

Here’s Little Dragon’s cover of Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless):”

The Jojo Effect remix of the Andrews Sisters’ “Rum and Coca Cola:”

The Sonar Kollektiv Orchester’s cover of Georg Levin’s “I Got Somebody New:”

And then there’s Bebel Gilberto’s cover of “Acabou Chorare” (originally by Novos Baianos):

As usual, the setlist is here as a Google Spreadsheet.

In addition, there was the absolutely smashing “Cursis Melodias” by Natalia Lafourcade, who I came to when I was in Guatemala City, jetlagged, channel surfing among Mexican music video channels. I was hooked.

Little Dragon’s new album, “Ritual Union” is finally out, and while I didn’t have time to play the two tracks I wanted to, I was able to get to a live cover they did of Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee)” which is excellent. Who knew?

As always, the setlist is here as a Google Docs spreadsheet.

I also got my virtual hands on the title track of Little Dragon’s upcoming “Ritual Union,” which will finally hit the shelves on 26 July. Yeah!

The Weeknd’s new “Rolling Stone” track is also great:

Also worth noting this week is the new Nicola Conte album, “Love and Revolution,” which has a wonderfully organic feel to it:

Benji Boko’s “Beats, Treats and All Things Unique,” with its single “Where My Heart Is (feat. Maxi Jazz)”

The Soundway compilation “Colombia! The Golden Age of Discos Fuentes”

Isaac Aesili’s “With You In My Bed:”

Cypress Hill’s “Armada Latina:

and Raphael Saadiq’s “Movin’ Down the Line:”

Probably the hottest candidate for Song of the Summer 2011 is this one, at least for me:

As usual, the whole setlist is here as a Google Docs spreadsheet.

But by far the coolest thing I got hold of this week came from Yvonne Sanchez: A live recording of “Once I Loved.” She’s playing here in Prague on 13-14 July at the Jazz Dock, so definitely go check that out.

I don’t have a video for “Once I Loved,” but here’s a clip of “Roses” live:

Standout tracks this week came from Parov Stelar, whose “La Fete” is a real stomper:

Raphael Saadiq’s “Stone Rollin’” is also great, and I loved the track featuring Little Dragon, “Just Don’t:”

Speaking of Little Dragon, while we wait for the release of their new album, Ritual Union, I played this track, “Wildfire” by SBTRKT featuring Little Dragon and then remixed by Drake:

I also reached into the archives to find the Mary Jane Girls:

But by far the coolest track and coolest video this week comes from Curitiba, Brazil. The group is called “A Banda Mais Bonita Da Cidade” and the track is “Oração:”

The standout tracks came from completely different worlds and parts of the world. One track that absolutely _killed_ me was from Cleveland Jones, “Sensitive:”

Another excellent track is Tracey Thorn’s “You Are A Lover” with the remix by Clock Opera:

Finally, there was the completely outstanding OMG GET THIS DISC NOW! compilation called (deep breath): Cartagena!
Curro Fuentes & The Big Band Cumbia and Descarga Sound of Colombia 1962 – 1972.

Check out these tracks:

I can’t recommend highly enough the Sofrito: Tropical Discotheque compilation, which I also played a lot of this week.

Plus there was this outstanding track from 1969/70 from a group called Soft Soul Transition:
