Portuguese fado, Spanish flamenco, Greek folk ballads, Nordic choruses, Celtic fiddlers, and more. Another strong release from the Rough Guide series. This one also a fundraiser for Amnesty International. Great music & a great cause. Play it all.
1. Mid-tempo fado w/wonderful female vocals.
2. Mid/down tempo Greek folk w/strings & fem. vox.
3. Uptempo Italian folk w/a contemporary sound & strong fem. vox.
4. Dramatic blend strings/female vocals/chorus. Sort of dark.
5. Fast Gypsy brass band oom-pah w/chorus.
6. Fun brass polka w/a wacky soundtrack sort of sound. Cool.
7. A classic Balkan folk dance. Fast w/lots of strings/chorus. Catchy
8. A sad lament for the loss of Czarist Russia. Pretty.
9. Contemporary French folk/rock w/strings & male vox. Midtempo.
10. Solo flamenco guitar/claps. Very nice, fast, guitar work.
11. Strings, female vox. Mid-tempo Hungarian folk dance.
12. Catchy Celtic dance for guitars/vocals.
13. Scottish dance w/wonderful crystal-clear female vox.
14. Contemporary Celtic folk/rock w/female vox/fiddles/perc.
15. Delicate, rich fem harmonies/harp. Old Flemish folk song.
16. Fast fiddling, great Norwegian folk w/cool perc/strings.
17. Finnish folk mid-tempo w/driving vocals/strings/perc.
18. Uptempo klezmer-esque German romp. Fun!
