Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
For anyone still unaware of the riches awaiting discovery in the vast kingdom of world music, The Rough Guides Collection will make a perfect place to start. After conquering the travel-guide market, the Rough Guide empire is now doing the same with its CDs, profiling the music of every corner of the globe. This taster-disc begins with an up-to-the-minute dance number led by Fela Kuti's drummer, and ends with a timeless lament from the Klezmer group Kroke, and it takes in a kaleidoscope of other musics along the way. From the laid-back sound of Mozambican "marrabenta", via the lazy swing of calypso, to the sweet innocence of Cuba's "Guantanamera"; from a Highland lullaby to the breeziness of Italian "tenore" singing to the organetto; from the Goldfinger theme put through a drum & bass blender, to the acoustic purity of the Malian kora and balafon. And there's plenty of fusion, the most notable being a Mississippi blues delivered in an Okinawan setting. Listen up--then set off and explore. --Michael Church
