Lots of new sounds this month, led off by Israeli hip-hop/soul/funk troupe Hadag Nahash. I don't know much about their politics, but somehow I have it in my head that they are the musical equivalent of Obama's Middle East speech tonight: a similar call for change and opportunity, with more than a little partying along the way. Not sure if their music is really widely available, but the album link above will get you to their website where you can track down their energetic music.
Have fun exploring these links. And here's a Hadag Nahash video to give you a taste of their music and style.
