More twangy South and East African guitar music off of 78 rpm discs, courtesy of three new compilations; the music of Yeison Landero and Bongo District, both performing in Richmond in early October; brassy Colombian sounds from Bandejas Espaciales and Colectro; new Anatolian rock from Umut Adan & Zebânis; the return of America's finest Afrobeat band, Antibalas; England's surprisingly funky Me and My Friends
