Posting a Los Bitchos track led me to Franz Ferdinand's, Alex Kapranos saying that it sounds like, "William Onyeabor discovering cumbia

I first noticed Onyeabor, like most everyone, when a 2013 compilation of his music appeared. This was championed/admired by the likes of David Byrne, Money Mark, Damon Albarn, Pat Mahoney, Dev Hynes, Alexis Taylor, Charles Lloyd, Amadou and Mariam, Dan Snaith, Four Tet and Tune-Yards…as per his Wikipedia entry

I enjoy this song.

If you ever meet an Australian who is into music and want to get a rise out of them, you can either ask what part of South Africa they are from, or suggest that The Go-Betweens are over-rated.

Their home town of Brisbane has a bridge named after them, Cattle and Cane was listed as one of the 30 best Australian songs, and they have influenced boat loads of musicians that have followed including Courtney Barnett, Teenage Fanclub and Belle and Sebastian.

What planet was this from? When did The Stranglers go to northern Queensland and get all arty?

Singular and pivotal, it's the British music collective's most well known track. Robin Guthrie (guitar) and Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) from The Cocteau Twins covering a Tim Buckley song. Unique.
