This is simply one of the most joyous albums I own, and I have over 3,000! The mood starts out mellow and lifts higher and higher. If you're not dancing around the room by track 3, you probably need anti-depressants. This is music anyone can enjoy, not just those beardy World Music aficionados. You shouldn't hesitate. Really.

Years ago a friend made a tape with Miriam Makeba's songs for me and I listened to it to the point of tearing it. It is great to know that my favourites are other people's favourites and this collection is just that. All my favourite Miriam Makeba hits and many more. She is arguably the best female African singer there is and she is not stepping away yet. This is the CD you that will keep me warm and dancing around the Xmas tree this year and probably many years to come. It is also the CD I would want my children to listen to one day, to see that African music has been amazing from its very begining. >>More Details |

Hey pop pickers! Do you despair at the state of British indie music? Need that itch seriously scratching? Man,this is one wild and groovy ride. Weird and wonderful and very much deserving the attention of any curious and open minded music fan.I ain't no world music fan ,but the currently very stale indie scene forces one to search further afield to satisfy ones needs. If you like this, watch the film: Broken flowers (Bill Murray). Alot of this music soundtracks that film brilliantly. Also try Tinariwen (for seriously cool desert blues)or Kasai allstars.
We have people like Damon Albarn to thank for drawing our attention to such brilliant music. Nice one.Fair play to bands like Vampire weekend and The Good,the bad and the queen for mixing ... Read More: >>More Details |

Rokia Traoré is better than ever. Her voice is stronger and so is the material she is performing.

If you do not want the hair on your neck to stand up and goosebumps to appear on your arm then don't buy it, because this CD is truly brilliant. It's different to his others but that is the greatness of this guy. Some of the tunes relate to his experiences in the UK and he even plays with us in Cantelowes when you hear the start of the sound track for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Hey this guy has humour as well as brilliance.
With the world falling about our ears and all the talk of greed and corruption just buy this and take your mind to some calm and peaceful place. This can really contribute to your sanity. I'm off to chill out with this CD. I have all his CDs but this is really set apart, perhaps it stands out becasue it is less traditional, ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Brazilian Funk Experience: Patrick Forge Presents Rare Grooves from the EMI & Odeon Vaults 1968-1980by: Various Artists April 03, 2006 Best Selling > Music > African |

Some real gems here. Granted some of the tracks have been released on other compilation records (namely Gilles Peterson's; indeed Forge used to DJ with Gilles back in the eighties; check out their excellent Dingwalls record) but that's because the songs are excellent. There's a nice mix of funk, jazz, folk and soul here that is sure to make your average party goer stand up, take notice, and applaud your unique and well flavoured musical taste.

Mali Kouraby: Issa Bagayogo October 27, 2008 Best Selling > Music > African |

Some influential voices will be dismayed, even horrified, by this combination of Issa Bagayogo's authentic, man-from-the-country sound and a series of propulsive rhythm tracks made from programmed beats and keyboards. I stand with the choir on the other side of the room, to sing the praises of an impressive and consistently enjoyable album from yet another marvellous and unique artist from Mali. How do you say 'it gets better with every play' without it sounding like a cliche? I give up.
Perhaps the closest parallel is to Amadou & Mariam's 2005 album, produced by Manu Chao, although the productions of Willie Mitchell in the early Seventies also come to mind - it's intriguing to imagine Al Green or Ann Peebles slipping into some of these arrangements. ... Read More: >>More Details |

This CD is wonderful. I am a big fan of Soweto Gospel choir, some wonder harmonies. The traditional songs are my favourite. If you ever get the chance to see them 'live' you will truly be amazed. They sound just as good, if not better than their CD's.

Pata Pata: the Hit Sound of Miriam Makebaby: Miriam Makeba March 04, 2002 Best Selling > Music > African |

This CD is a re-issue of an album released in 1972. Featuring Miriam's stunning voice singing the songs she is most famous internationally for, "Pata Pata", "Ring Bell, Ring Bell" and "click song number 1". A twelfth extra track, "Malayisha" unfortunately in mono, is the B side of the original Pata Pata single. Producer Jerry Ragovoy has done an excellent job in showing the scope of Miriam's repetoire, even penning two of the most stunning songs, "Ring Bell" and "What is Love?" to do so. Particularly if you have only heard Miriam's more recent recordings I exhort you to add this to your collection, and listen a younger but no less exquisite voice.
