It might help if you narrowed the field a bit - are you interested in African, Indian, Far Eastern, Central Asian or South American styles? Would you rather hear the 'pure' ethnic music of a country or some of the more contemporary fusion? Instrumental or vocal? Acoustic or electric? One recommendation for contemporary North African music is the Festival in the Desert (various artists, including Robert Plant) which has been one of World Music's biggest recent hits. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Boy, gok22us, it's a big World, literally and musically, so you need to be more specific, as Syzygy says. Anyway, I'll recommend to you just a few of my favourites: - She's been around for donkey's years, but check out the African giant Myriam Makeba. Try one of her Greatest Hits CDs, which are easy to find. I still adore her song Pata Pata from the 1960s. - If you want some great Brazilian contemporary music, check out Carlinhos Brown's CD "Carlinhos Brown é Carlito Marron" which is also easy to find and is a real blast ("outstanding" according to the reviewer in the UK newspaper The Sunday Times, although I would not go quite that far myself). - For some older, but sublime music (IMO) check out Milton Nascimento's "Geraes". - If you like percussion, Luciano Perrone's classic 1972 LP "batucada fantástica vol 3" was recently released on CD by UK record company whatmusic.com and is marvellous: eighteen tracks of Afro-Brazilian percussion and rhythms.
As an aside, I dislike the term "World music". If you're African, your music isn't "World music"; if you're Brazilian, your music isn't "World music". The term was presumably concocted by the British or the Americans to describe music native to other countries. Caetano Veloso's music may be "World music" to Europeans/North Americans, but it's just Popular Music to Brazilians. Perhaps Africans, Asians, South Americans etc. should start calling British and American music "World music".

BBC Radio 3 have been awarding World Music Prizes for a number of years. It is worth checking out the shortlists for the last couple of years on their website, for a broad indication of who the "experts" thought good. For example the latest list includes some sound samples: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/awards2005/nominees.shtml - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/awards2005/nominees.shtml |
