Guys, I'm just starting out to explore World Music and acquire a collection and while I've heard some on FM radio over the years, I really only have one CD....Midnight in Mali (above). Is there a good site where I can audition and then buy my selections? I just don't know where to begin....Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbuzzardstubble Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi @@MusicOne.I didn't get into world music seriously until I attended my first Womadelaide 20 years ago.It was while I was there that I discovered the Songlines (UK) magazine.There are 8 issues per year and it's a great way to explore this genre.Each issue comes with a covermount cd which contains 10 songs from their highest rated reviews.A guest musician also selects 5 songs,so 15 tracks on every disc.About half of the issues also come with a bonus cd from a world music label.Highly recommended.I get my magazine through my newsagency but you can subscribe.$14 for the over the counter and quite a bit cheaper if via subscription.They also have a digital version for ipads etc.As well as all the reviews there's lots of interesting articles about musicians,books,dvds and even foreign film reviews.I hope I have been of some assistance.Cheers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McP Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 yep, if you haven't been to Womadelaide, just go! A couple of weeks away, top class acts, you're spoilt for choice and a great friendly atmosphere www.womadelaide.com.au I've been a longtime subscriber to Songlines as well, highly recommended. You could also stream PBS and RRR, two excellent FM stations based here in Melbourne, they archive their shows. Here are a few to "test the waters" RRR The Good, the Dub and the Global http://www.rrr.org.au/program/the-good-the-dub-the-global PBS Global Village http://www.pbsfm.org.au/globalvillage Flight 1067 to Africa http://www.pbsfm.org.au/flight1067 warning: highly addictive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesbee Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Figured that this might be the best place to post comments about Irish music (would probably get a bit lost in the noise in the general 'currently spinning' thread). I ordered the new CD from Irish traditional band, Danu, from their website a little while ago. It arrived last week, and I have been spinning it quite a bit over the last few days. I personally think that Danu are one of the finest Irish traditional bands around at the moment. They are currently a 5 piece outfit, featuring the singing of Muireann nic Amhlaoibh (who also plays flute and whistle). I just love the way this lady sings. She has a very melodic, fluid voice, and manages to put a lot of expression into her singing. Ireland has produced many fine female singers over the years, and I reckon she is right there with the best of them. Although Danu are technically 5 piece, I notice that two former members, Tom Doorley and Donnchadh Gough have joined them for this album. They have also been joined by the inimitable Donal Lunny who plays a range of instruments on various tracks, and who also produced the album. I personally think that this is probably their finest effort so far. Their ensemble playing on the instrumental tracks is as good as you will hear in this sort of music, and Muireann's singing is a joy to listen to. They sound like a band at the top of their game. If I have to pick a favourite track, it would have to be track 2, the song 'Beir Mo Dhuthracht'. I just love her singing on this. (I hunted for a clip of this song, but the best I could come up with is the samples on amazon.co.uk.) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buan-Danu/dp/B00SLA6RJE/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1424565757&sr=1-1&keywords=danu+buan Here is a link to the band's website. http://danu.net/home and Muireann nic Amhlaoibh has her own website, here. http://www.muireann.ie/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked the post, but I have to say that Irish music is rather more than just 'diddlydee'. There is far more substance to it than that.

mrbuzzardstubble Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Colombiafrica:The Mystic Orchestra-Voodoo Love Inna Champeta-Land. *Voodoo Love Inna Champeta-Land* [Riverboat, 2007] Centered in the drug entrepôt of Cartagena on Colombia's Caribbean coast, champeta has the regional currency of reggaeton or baile funk. Even at its simplest, though, it's more musicianly, played by live bands and directly influenced by many Afropop styles. This U.S.-released introduction is anything but simple--it is in fact the rare piece of pan-Africana that doesn't seem designed to soften up millionaires at a UNESCO benefit. The secret is Congo-Parisian guitar etoile Bopol Mansiamina adding idiomatic expertise and handing work off to comrades such as Diblo Dibala and Rigo Star. But what he's adding to also counts: three champeta stars whose own idioms include jerky cumbia and vallenata, boilerplate salsa and squeezeboxes and funny horns never heretofore heard on what is more or less a soukous record--though more likely to show up on one that also flirts with highlife and Afrobeat. You'll hear some funny voices, too--funny ha-ha and funny peculiar. -Robert Christgau. Edited February 22, 2015 by mrbuzzardstubble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
