...Zornow started DJ-ing in his early teens, drawn by a love of hip hop and an inability to rap. He spent hours in his room practicing moves on a turntable and watching videos of former DMC champions, including the New York City-based group Lo-Livez, who became his mentors...

...murmuring myths on a sun-drenched porch. In some ways, to bemoan the increased polish of Iron & Wine is to lament the inevitable, as with expanding audiences comes a pull into the wiry world of the studio. Still, selfish as it sounds, there was a soft magic to the lo-fi ambiance of his earliest records, buried now below vocal effects and extended (by Beam standards) “jam” sessions. While this diversification of instrumentation isn’t all bad, it’s a bit unsettling at first. Songs like “White Tooth...

In 1997, he published what was to be his last collection, A Hundred Changes (again, poorly translated from Chinese as City Vibrance). It was a then-and-now volume in which Yau revisited locations he had documented decades earlier in order to record the invariably startling transformations that had taken place in the interim. These books...

...There are a plethora of good singer-songwriters in the west African country of Senegal, many of whom - like Cheihk Lo, Baaba Maal and the peerless N'Dour - have become staples for any self-respecting world music fan in the West. But Kane is different. Less traditional but not quite "Western," he mixes soul and Malian blues with rock tunes on a Moroccan three-stringed guitar known as the guimbri. One London-based music critic described Kane's eclectic sound as "evocative of a kind of pan-Saharan Velvet Underground...
