If you love Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros or Local Natives or Tom Tom Club (or heck, even if you're one of those die-hard Rusted Root fans from the 90's) then you're gonna love Fool's Gold.
Fool's Gold is a collective of artists based in Los Angeles who make music that's inspired by the people of the world. Though a lot of their songs have very distinct South American and African flavors, the people of Fool's Gold don't consider their music "world music" - they simply make music for good times on hot nights. No matter where you are in the world, we can all be connected by that experience and that feeling. And if you live some place chilly that doesn't see any warm nights? Then put on Fool's Gold and let the music take you there. For start, listen to "Nadine," new this week on Alternative's Music Box. You'll need to get out your maracas for this one, as well as any Carmen Miranda headwear you might have lying around.
If you don't want the party stop, we're offering you a chance to win a copy of the self-titled album from Fool's Gold PLUS one of our unisex organic cotton v-necks, now available in some exciting new colors, perfect for summer.
Wanna chance to win?? Just leave a comment on this post by the end of the week! It's that easy. Last day to put your name in the pot is Sunday, April 4th - we'll select one lucky winner on Monday, April 5th.
Free stuff pls. KTHXBAI.
