[coll.]: SALSA AROUND THE WORLD Putumayo, 2003 Just what the title says: salsa music from places you don't expect to find salsa – Africa, Europe, even India and Japan. The selections are up to Putumayo's usual standards, elevating this from a mere novelty to a serious survey of Latin music's global appeal. So don’t look for wacky fusions; this is (mostly) straight-up salsa. Try any and all tracks. Fo's Picks: 5, 6, 8, 12 01. 5:53 – midtempo: straight-up, with just a few hints of Celtic melody. Good flute. 02. 3:47 – midtempo, with touches of Italian street music & jazz, + string section 03. 5:24 – midtempo, with a nice Caribbean sway; good vocals & guitar solo. 04. 3:46 – midtempo, smooth cha-cha, good horns, husky Greek vox (+ panpipe!) 05. 3:48 – uptempo, really good percussion here, creole vocals have an African touch 06. 3:37 – uptempo; Arabic vocal adds a cool new flavor; nice guitar/trumpet solos 07. 2:21 – Santana goes Bollywood! Elec. guitar, Hindi vox; lightweight but fun 08. 5:32 – midtempo; relaxed feel, Wolof vox, very fine band: everything just fits. 09. 4:28 – mid/uptempo bomba rhythm: straight-up salsa from Japan 10. 4:14 – uptempo latin jazz; Douala vocal, sophisticated rhythm, nice backup vox 11. 3:27 – relaxed Cuban-style son from Finland, steady swing & good guitar work 12. 5:10 – bouncy midtempo: Haitian creole lyrics, nice perc/violin; a sweet, lazy air [Fo] – 8/30/03 | ||
