On this installment of New Sounds, we look at the rich and stylish balancing act between traditional Eastern idioms and cutting-edge Western electronica. Featured are singer and bassist Sabah Habas Mustapha, co-founder of 3 Mustaphas 3, who delves deeply into Indonesian music on an excerpt from his exotic album So La Li. Moroccan trance and East London dance meet in a selection by Bachir Attar and Talvin Singh; England's Banco de Gaia brings a supple house beat to Egyptian music; and Paul Pena and Ondar collaborate to blend Tuvan throat-singing with American blues.
