Angélique Kidjo's previous albums have been decidedly patchy affairs, with tracks ranging from the sublime to the abysmal. With Black Ivory Soul, however, Kidjo strikes a lovely and generally consistent note. Exploring the connections between her native Benin and Brazil's Bahia region, she makes beautiful music flavored by two continents on songs such as 'Tumba,' with its crisp but subtle percussion driving a lilting melody, or 'Afrika,' where the cascading notes of the kora help ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | The Book of Secrets
McKennitt's recordings always have the quality of a spiritual sojourn; her songs are those of a seeker, whether she's setting Yeats, Scripture, or her own words to her compositions. It's this that attracts people to her music, and The Book of Secrets is no exception, whether it's the lazy rhythms of 'Marco Polo,' the sober joy of 'The Mummers' Dance,' the poignancy of 'Skellig' or 'Dante's Prayer,' or the drama of Alfred Noyes's 'The Highwayman.' 'The Highwayman' is a particularly ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Evangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music
Cajun music might not need a tribute--after all, it has held its own and remained popular for a very long time now--but the music on this disc is glittering enough to shine in any company. Ann Savoy (the grande dame of Cajun music who assembled this project) and Linda Ronstadt pair up to gorgeous effect on two songs, Richard Thompson offers his own particular edgy style to 'Les Flammes d'Enfer,' Nick Lowe sounds convincingly Arcadian on ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Getz/Gilberto
Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jazz Samba remains the only jazz album to reach number one in the pop charts. In fact, the story goes that Getz had to push for the release of Getz/Gilberto since the company did ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Caribbean Party
The Caribbean is home to a string of tourism-friendly island nations and some of the world's most amazing music. Along with lush vegetation, sugar-sand beaches, and spicy food, each island is defined by its local sound, which remains fairly consistent whether the lyrics deal with partying, courtship, or social protest. This set is devoted to dance-oriented Haitian compas, Jamaican reggae, zouk from the French Antilles, and Trinidadian calypso's faster and more rhythmically intense descendant, soca (from SOul-CAlypso). The Martinican ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Mondo Head
Mondo Head is the kind of percussion panorama that Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart has been orchestrating since he formed the Diga Rhythm Band a quarter-century ago. This time, he works with another group that shares his dream of a 21st century percussion orchestra. Kodo is a Japanese Taiko drum troupe who take the ceremonial drums of Japan and turn them into a performance vehicle with bells, cymbals, flutes, voices, and dance. Hart ...

Anyone with taste is going to love this album. Has classic Marley tunes that even the most cursery reggae fan will know. While I don't consider myself by any stretch a true reggae afficinado, this is the one album I own on vinyl, tape and now CD. One Love, which frankly I skip over becuase all I can think of are the commercials now when I hear it, is still a great didity. For Eric Clapton ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Waltz for Koop [Includes bonus DVD]
Koop combines a wealth of summery melodies and floating vocals with the acid jazz of Gilles Peterson and the laid-back trip-hop aesthetic of Jazzanova and Peter Kruder. The result is a sweet, effortless sound on Waltz For Koop. Starting off with a Brazilian feel, Koop enlists Astrud Gilberto-like chanteuses Cecilia Stalin and Yukimi Nagano to augment the mood, while later, electronic trickster-legend Earl Zinger shows up for a decadent 'Modal Mile.' The record takes an otherworldly ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Amelie: Original Soundtrack Recording
This sunny comic fable from idiosyncratic director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (City of Lost Children, Alien Resurrection, Delicatessen) boasts any number of intimate charms, not the least of which is Yann Tiersen's warmly inviting score. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tiersen's work and training may have masterfully encompassed classical, pop, and rock, but his delightful Amélie music proves he is slave to none. In this, his fourth soundtrack, Tiersen displays an impressive command of idiom and melodic subtlety that's rightfully drawn ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Woman on Top
The soundtrack from Woman on Top, starring Madrid-born bombshell Penelope Cruz as the beauty and brains behind a popular cooking show, is the perfect introduction to the Brazilian sound--and just might live up to the label's promise that it's 'destined to bring Bossa Nova music to the world' (though bossa nova has long been popular in the West, albeit in specialized circles). The highly listenable album features contemporary Brazilian artists such as singer-songwriter Lenine; ...
