Comment:

Well, the first half is supposed to be Middle Eastern and the second half African. I know Manu Chao is neither but it just sounds like a pretty African beat to me. Of course you'll also notice some Western artists too but the songs are pretty influenced by the region. All in all, it's pretty good, but there are some things I would do differently next time.

Manu Chao is AWESOME. Love that guy, but yeah, he's not really either of those two genres. Do you like Tarkan?
