The Rough Guide Unwired: Acoustic Music From Around The World

Various

Audio CD: FDO 2001-10-01
Label: World Music Network

"Although its focus is acoustic-oriented world music, Unwired doesn't limit itself to traditional sounds -- in fact, much of the compilation consists of contemporary, even cutting-edge pop from various continents. Covering a lot of territory, this excellent CD take us to various parts of Africa with selections by Toumani Diabate and Baaba Maal, as well as to Spain with Duquende's "Lo Bueno Y Lo Malo" (an appealing example of the type of nuevo flamenco that has been the rage in Spain since the 1970s), and to Latin America with Argentinean tango vocalist Adriana Varela's dramatic "La Casita De Mis Viejos" and Colombian vallenato artist Maximo Jimenez's "Vuelo En Libelula." (Quite different from cumbia, vallenato is an exuberant, accordion-based style that comes from Colombia's Atlantic coast.) India is represented by Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia's "Love," while instrumental Finnish folk is represented by the all-female quintet Niekku's "Yski Ruusu." One of the best songs on the album is Sudanese singer Rasha's "Azara Al Hay," a haunting, jazz-influenced gem. Not the least bit predictable, Unwired is well worth obtaining.Enjoy!!!..... at 320 kbps!"
