Today’s Top Tune brings you five free songs each weekday. First up, the haunting vocals of folk artist Jessica Pratt. We’re excited to tell you that LA merrymakers Ozomatli have collaborated with their founding members Chali 2na and Cut Chemist, and they also celebrate their album release at Zebulon Cafe on Jan. 26. KCRW DJs are digging the pop flurry made by MorMor, as well as Chrome Sparks. And, last but never least, Rocky Dawuni closes out the week with “Beats of Zion” and you can catch him live at the Townhouse later this month.
