We’re taking most of January off, but are making the most of a gap between our holidays to showcase some of the most exciting independent music of 2023 so far. From raw kologo power from Ghana’s King Ayisoba, to transcendental psychedelia from Portugal’s Marlene Ribeiro, via sublime drones, raucous metal, whatever you’d categorise Za! as, and a whole lot more.
You can listen to the first six tracks for free. To listen to the full episode, get a huge back catalogue of music, and access to our live shows and Discord group, please join our Patreon: patreon.com/independentmusicpodcast. The podcast only survives with Patron support
