Comment:
This volume of the 2007 - Year in the Making Series highlights all those worldly treasures I made off with in maverick explorer style.As you can plainly see, a few of these were actually released in 2006, yet that didn't stop many publications from including those albums in their '07 "Best Of" lists, so it certainly won't stop me (especially, as I discovered these riches during my year-end quest for exotic fortunes). Additionally, I attempted to narrow the scope to those items which would fit, more comfortably, within the "World Music" Genre (horrible term, I know), rather than select items purely on the basis of origination.So, if you will, pack your steamer trunk, dawn your favorite boonie hat and venture forth onto foreign and abberant paths.
Feedback:
I'm familiar with a few of these - Tinariwen, Balkan Beat Box, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Rachid Taha and the closer. I know this is terrific. So much music, so little time...
Yeah, I too don't really like the "world music" label, but alas you used it, and well I hope you suffer something bad! Haha, just kidding of coarse. This is simply to amazing man. I've been blasting that Fanfare Ciocarlia disc a lot lately (picked it up last week). Loving what I heard so far from Kepa Junkera and a lot of the African vibes here. MOTW for me!
This only serves to further remind me of my near-complete ignorance in the area of...er, world music. Other than 13 and 15, I'm completely in the dark. I should really do something about that...
Mostly unknown, a situation I hope to rectify....
I love Kepa Junkera, Bob Brozman, Youssou N'Dour, and Orchestra Baobab. This promises to be very good.
All I can say is one will certainly have a difficult time playing "Gnome That Tune" with these songs. I'm anxious to have a listen, however.
chock me in with the pile who don't care for the term "world music" - thus i'm in the dark with most of this - your track record tells me this is all about to change
Well my man Sam knows five more than I do! Looks like a suitcase full of gems. How did you ever get it past customs?
I like some forms of "World Music" but I'm pretty selective.. there's a lot here I'm not familiar with, so I guess I'll have to give it a spin. Looking forward to the trip.
I've heard snippets of Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and dig what I hear. I know several artists here but only the closing song. Thanks for the lesson.
Dig the Antibalas, Kidjo, N'Dour and Bishop (not bad for my pedestrian ears), need to explore the balance.
Another wonderful journey you've taken us on Mr. Gnome. I'd love to see the movie to this soundtrack.
Nice to see another world traveler. Some great stuff here. This year it was nice to see Natao Zumbi reform & very sad to see Andy Palacio die after such a wonderful CD. Hope this opens a few more eyes up to some of the great music that isn't in English or from the indy rock scene.
I am looking forward to the trip as well, Sir!
All new to me. It's a path I'd like to take.
just when I finally catch up with you on your excursion, you give me new perspectives to consider. well, along with Salman, here's 2 votes for MOTW, 'cause I dig this the most. knowing almost nothing here when the excursion began, I enjoyed the first 3 stops immensely, along with Fanfare Ciocarlia, Omar Souleyman, but I think my two favorites are the Gipsy.cz and Rachid Taha tracks. thanks for the trip.
mmm, not sure how I missed this . . . but I did !!absolutely love that Tinariwen album and this builds from there . . . Rachid has always impressed/surprised me with equal measure . . . great stuff . . .
Impressive as always, thanks.
