World Music

[Buckle-meister]

Dear all,

As time goes by, I find that my interest in listening to World Music increases. I currently have compilation CDs (mixed) by Claude Challe and by Budda-bar.

Given this (assuming you're familiar with these), does anybody have any other titles they'd recommend?

Keiko Matsui and Eric Chiryoku...both instrumental. Here's the link for Eric Chiryoku: http://www.ericchiryoku.com/music.html
Buddha Bar is very good...Try Anggun C. Sasmi (indonesian singer), I have many collections of World Music...from SouthEast Asia to China and Japan. Let me know if you want to hear 'em, i can send u some. I also have Arabic music, pretty cool.

Eric Chiryoku is a bit too quiet for me. I'm looking for something a bit more up-beat. Keiko Matsui is just a bit too jazzy. As you can see, I'm rather fussy.

It's Budda-bar 3 that I have and think it's excellent. Which of the others, if you have them, would you recommend? I find that I'm quite partial to the eastern sounding music on the CDs I have.

Stemming from Budda-bar 3, I bought Nacho Sotomayor's La Roca CDs (volume 2 and 3) and think both are pretty good, though I'd say they're more chill-out than world music. I suspect I'll try to trace some more artists whose individual songs on Budda-bar 3 I like.

For a nice selection of world music check out Quango records. I have purchased several of their samplers, Afro Tech, Asian Groove and Brazilified. I have bought several CD's because of the samplers. They also have other samplers.
