Made for dancing, the contagious sound of Systema Solar emerges from the pikos of the Colombian Caribbean coast.<\/p>\n<p>July 16: Fulu Miziki (DR Congo): Fulu Miziki Kolektiv makes its mark by transposing the noises of the streets of Kinshasa into an Afro-futuristic techno-punk trance imbued with Congolese rumba and coup\u00e9-d\u00e9cal\u00e9 that they call twerkanda.<\/p>\n<p>July 17: Admiral T (Guadeloupe): In three decades, Admiral T has become the standard-bearer of West Indian reggae-dancehall.
