Reviewed 2007-12-28
Excellent sampler of world music from ‘round the planet. Not a bad track in the bunch, and something for every taste. One star each track.

1. Regally hip mid/upbeat Ethopian electronica dance groove.
2. Rai-influenced mid/up dance track w/cool spoken lyrics in French.
3. Wiggly, joyous soukous w/a totally infectious sense of fun.
4. Sweet kora/balafon/guitar jam. Mid/upbeat and excellently played.
5. Mid/upbeat Afro funk w/wicked hot horns. Yowzers!
6. Gritty, upbeat blues rock w/nasty guitar/vocals.
7. Liquidly jazzy bandoneon-based modern tango. Stylish, delicious.
8. Quirky mid/upbeat Mexi-rock w/a hip groove & great beat.
9. Afro-infused salsa, upbeat, sharp, very, very catchy.
10. Midtempo & moving w/catchy melody & great vocals.
11. Gorgeously tragic fado w/beautiful female vocals. So sad!
12. Starts quiet, downtempo, gets midtempo. Crystal-vocals.
13. French love duet, down. Then picks up, false end at 2:40 then piano
14. Dramatic intro, then brassy midtempo, squeaky Italian folk w/vocal
15. Upbeat Sufi-infused dance, great vocals/tabla. Lively.
