Belgian DJ and tastemaker Lefto announces his latest compilation album, entitled ‘The Beauty is Inside’, on BBE Music.

Eclectic sounds ranging across genres and continents make up the 19 gems contained on ‘The Beauty Is Inside’, all deftly linked together by Lefto’s unrivalled taste and deep musical knowledge.

“You can’t sleep on Lefto! He’s always on it...” - Gilles Peterson

As well as showing respect for some somewhat unsung heroes from the past like Ethiopian singer Alemayehu Eshete, South African singer and actress Patience Africa and Spanish composer Pedro Ruy-Blas of seventies fusion band Dolores, Lefto looks to the future, showcasing young soul and electronic artists, including D.C.’s Dreamcastmoe, Pasadena’s Qur'an Shaheed, Regal86 from Monterrey, Antwerp’s abrahamblue and Elisa Bee from Milan, to name just a few. The album also features an appearance from paladin of the current jazz renaissance Makaya McCraven, and even a track from Lefto himself.

“‘The Beauty is Inside’ is a compilation of original tracks (I personally really like) and tracks from friends who happen to be great artists as well” says Lefto. “They are all pretty much up-and-coming, and deserve more exposure. It has always been my job as a radio man to shine a light on the talented artists who need it the most. We all know how the music industry works, and how hard it is to find your way in that world, so I hope this collection of tracks will give these artists the shine they deserve.”

About this edit
When I heard this beautiful song for the first time I swear I could hear some chill drums on top of it, after about 2 seconds I understood it was just my imagination and an edit should take place as soon as possible!
So here is my edit for the most talented Mia Doi Todd and her beautiful tune Paraty accompanied by the mesmerizing handpan playing by Naji
It's a good song to chill in the beach by, host dinner parry's with friends to or wake up in the morning alongside your coffee:)

Dreadsquad - Yèkèrmo Sèw 
(Music: Mulatu Astatke)

Dreadsquad's new single is the first announcement of an upcoming instrumental dub album and a reference to a beautiful page in world music history. In 2005, thanks to the soundtrack of Jim Jarmusch's film Broken Flowers, the world discovered Ethiopian jazz. This happened mainly thanks to the characteristic melancholic melody "Yekermo Sew" performed by Mulatu Astatke, known as the "father of Ethio-jazz".
Today, the track takes on a whole new face of reggae dub, and Dreadsquad has dispensed with electronics, inviting an international team of musicians to record.  
"Yekermo Sew" in Amharic means "man of experience and wisdom." Based on Dreadsquad's past experience from years of conquering the musical stages of several continents, this is just another confirmation of the old wisdom that music knows no boundaries.

featuring:
Don Fe - flute
Craig Crofton - saxophone
Piotr Zabrodzki - Piano
Robert Horvath - Bass
Jakub Skibinski - drums
Marek Bogdanski - metallophone, guitar, percussion, production, mixing, mastering
