BBC Radio DJ Charlie Gillett complied this time capsule of 2003 world music hits/artists. There’s a broad variety of sounds from both familiar (Manu Chao, Orchestra Baobab) and lesser-known (Noir Desir, Sui Vesan) artists. All tracks are worthy of a play, but these are my personal favorites (for what it’s worth):
Disc 1:
1. Low-key French rock w/a catchy melody.
3. Contemporary Flamenco w/a fast dance break & fem. vocals.
4. Electronic lounge w/sexy French vocals.
7. Brassy Italian, down tempo w/cool male vocals.
9. Uptempo Turkish w/fem. vox & strong beat.
10. Crazy fast Spanish party song w/touch of Zydeco.
14. South African vocal harmonies w/a relaxed kind of joy.
15. Mid-tempo, melodic Iraqi w/a bouncy sort of feeling.
16. Beautiful female Fado.
17. Uptempo Arabic pop w/ vocal duet.
Disc 2:
1. Great contemporary Russian folk/rock. Uptemo.
4. Fem vox/blend of trad & mod instru. Hypnotic.
6. Fem vox/guitar. Relaxed folk/rock .
9. Kora, perc, vocals. Mid/uptempo Malian.
10. Fast Mexican folk w/great strings/perc/vocals.
11. Sweet & low-key w/gentle male vox & perc.
13. Kora/orchestra/Malian version of James Brown classic.
14. Smooth & sexy Latin jazz w/warm piano & fem. vox.
15. Afro-Latin jazz w/tight arrangements. Mid-tempo.
18. Live track w/Manu Chao reggae weirdness.
