We're celebrating the coronation of Charles III... or maybe we're just using that as an excuse to explore some of the finest music to be found in the Commonwealth. The development of sounds from former colonies and Commonwealth nations can be equal parts exciting, entertaining and catchy. We show just that with tracks by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Good Ones, and Dizzee Rascal.
