The tried-and-true MusicHound format offers a unique guide to making no-miss world music purchases even more essential given the level of air-play many of these artists receive. Entries offer background details on the band or performer, followed by recording reviews organized by what to buy, what to buy next and, whenever necessary, what to avoid. A resource section guides listeners to books, magazines, Web sites, mail order retailers and other sources of world music. Indexes, including the "Five Bone" pick of the litter index, make easy work of choosing the best music.
From the Clancy Brothers to Miriam Makeba to Nusret Fatah Ali Khan, MusicHound World provides readers with a guide to the undiluted practitioners of venerable and exciting art forms. Paddy Maloney's Wicklow Recordscontributes a free CD sampler of some of today's hottest world music. A pioneering work, MusicHound World will please the enthusiast and provide a pathway for the novice.
