PMB256 Masquerade (Dario Russo, Yamasuki Singers, Mandingo, Georges Vert, Chim Kothari, Reg Owen, Korla Pandit, Tak Shindo, Basil Henriques, Mitch Murder w/Satellite Young)

Summary: This week we take a good look behind the mask, with a selection of music which isn't quite what it appears to be on first listen. We have Frenchmen pretending to be Japanese, a Japanese man pretending that Duke Ellington was also Japanese, an Irishman pretending to be Hawaiian, the sound of exotic Hackney and a duo pretending it's still the 1980s (#callback). WARNING: Surprisingly, no Germans.
