What about some new South African fusion?
Taking their name from a Zulu slang word meaning hoodlum or shady character, the Skabengas mix African, Swing and Ska sounds.

excellent suggestion, haven't listened to her in years, I have an old tape somewhere, I'm going to have a hunt for it
Is she still working/touring? 
Can't find the tape, nor can Mrs SC but just googled her and she definately is still working 

She's playing Band on th Wall in Manchester 9 Oct inst and don't miss Steve Forbert 16 oct oooooo and Haggis Horns, but maybe a short line up (anybody know?), Dub Colossos, Soweto Kinch, Easy Star All Stars and Paco Pena in november. I'm gonna be busy and bust. Michelle might be playing Anchorage too!!!
