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 | ||
