Fellow Beyondjazz crew member Hans recently had a nice skype-interview with Miles Cleret, owner of the Soundway label. They've been specializing in bringing the obscure yet funky sounds of Nigeria, Panama, Columbia and more to our western living rooms. Before and after there's more contemporary jazz 'n' beats fo ya - you dig!?
