The Foreign Affairs Mix

With Mitt Romney and Barack Obama debating foreign affairs south of the border tonight, we thought we’d bring you a mix of songs by ‘foreign’* artists.

Starting off with the unexpectedly funky jazz of Turkey and dabbling in afro-jazz from various countries before taking a small trip to Korea, Brazil and ending off in France once again, this mix has something for everyone.

Mustafa Ozkent – Burcak
Fanga – Crache la douleur
Suffering & Smiling by Fela Kuti
Amadou & Mariam
– Ce n’est pas bon
OOIOO – UMO
Motherly Bluster - Ghost
Caetano Veloso – Black or White & Americanos
Marc Bolan – Afghan Woman
Bark Cat Bark – Iceland

*read: not North American, just pretend, for a moment, that you think like Mitt Romney
