More new Turkish psychedelia and exotic electric sounds... I'll be joining the dots between the Tunisian-American duo Didon and the group Niyaz with Azam Ali.  There are two Tunisian-born oud players working under jazz influence, and both make delicious music. We've come to expect some hard-edged folk-rock from Scandinavia, but have you ever heard Afrobeat made in Sweden?
