Compiled by BBC DJ Charlie Gillet, these 34 tracks come from some of the major world music releases of 2004. Tracks range from the traditional and simple to a more global dance sound. I’m not sure that I agree these are the best tracks from their respective CDs, but it’s an interesting sample that might turn you on to a few artists you don’t know. It’s pretty good mostly, especially these: CD 1: 2. Cows & accordions, how can you go wrong? Fun. 3. Arabic-fused dance jam. 5. Wonderful fem vox in a bluesy Fado. Relaxed, great guitar. 7. German café music w/a great retro sway. Very cool. 8. Uptempo Russian take on the Caribbean. Horns, vox, guitar. 9. Bouncy Congolese pop w/great vocal harmonies. 11. Malian blues w/super cool guitars & vocals. 15. More Malian blues, this time w/great male vox. 17. Sweet, jazzy, bright w/happy vocals & a nice energy. CD 2: 1. Lush and slow, like a Jewish tango. 2. Upbeat dance groove. 3. Great sax & vox on this uptempo Afro funk track. 6. Slow & jazzy homage to Fellini. 7. Light & bouncy w/growly vocals & a fun sway. 8. Warm & bright Fado track w/gorgeous female voice. 11. Starts slow, gets fast. Great fem vocalist. Wow. 14. A happy thing, lightly funky Afro pop. 15. A big sound – Rai-based dance jam. 9/2004 | ||
