Another great example of why the Rough Guides are so good. A wide variety of unexpected styles, everything from Edith Piaf to hip-hop, punk, jazz, & all stops in-between. You can play every track w/confidence, especially these:
1. In the bal musette tradition w/contemporary energy.
2. Dramatic, modern gypsy-esque w/cool vocals.
3. Hip-hop scratching with Occitan vocals.
5. Mid-tempo & percussive w/cool fem. vox in Bearnais.
7. Male vox/strings, mid-tempo & catchy.
9. Contemporary hurdy-gurdy/vox/perc. Fast, way cool.
11. Traditional bal musette instrumental.
12. Bal musette w/African touches (percussion/oud).
15. Cool Django-esque gypsy jazz guitars.
16. African drums and Breton pipes jazz.
17. Cool female call/response vocal track. Fast.
18. Upbeat dance w/cool pipes & West Indian vocals.
19. High energy ska-rock.
5/2003
