Nonesuch Store orders also include instant downloads of all the album tracks as MP3s, plus seven exclusive bonus MP3s recorded live. The BBC calls the album "magnificent."

Carolina Chocolate Drops recently performed songs from Genuine Negro Jig on PBS's Tavis Smiley show and spoke with Smiley about the album and the origins of the band and its music. You can watch the segment online now at pbs.org.

The band has been bringing its live show, which the New York Times has called an "end-to-end display of excellence," to venues across the United States and is due to close out the current leg of its US tour this weekend, following free shows at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the Radio Summer Camp Backyard BBQ in Milwaukee, plus a set at the Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky.

The trio begins a brief tour through the European summer festival circuit later this month, with stops at the Cambridge Folk Festival, Scotland's Southern Fried Festival, Norway's Notodden Blues Festival, and Belgium's Dranouter Folk Festival. The US tour resumes at the end of August.

    The Amsterdam-based duo of Bolivian-born singer/instrumentalist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Chicago ex-pat jazz drummer Frank Rosaly have released a remix of "BALADA PARA LA CORPORATOCRACIA," from their debut album, MESTIZX, by Andy Moor, of the Dutch anarcho-punk band The Ex. "Andy has so much experience with communal music from around the globe ... but he’s also lived the life of a musical activist, which is apparent in everything he does," Ferragutti and Rosaly say. "We didn’t think 'BALADA PARA LA CORPORATOCRACIA' could get any filthier, but he proved us wrong!" Ferragutti, Rosaly, and their band tour the US in March, with shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, NYC, and Big Ears Festival in Knoxville.
