Here’s what I said in this week’s column about Maga Bo’s appearance tonight at Nectar (with DJ Struggle & AC Lewis):

Touring in support of his debut album, Archipelagoes, Maga Bo draws from all points on the globe, but the result is hardly “world music.” Instead it’s a world tour through low end, with Bo intuitively collecting the tracks that inspire the urban masses to move on his travels. As with labelmates DJ /rupture and Filastine, it’s a fool’s errand to pin a genre on the resulting sonic mélange, but Maga Bo’s studied approach maintains momentum even when the beats accelerate into madness or dissolve into noise.

An even better introduction to Bo’s music is to check out his mixes, of which he’s got plenty on his site. Here’s an example, recorded in Rio De Janeiro.
