5.0 out of 5 stars A glimpse of the World's Music, February 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best of Music and Rhythm (Audio CD)
This CD contains 13 cuts from a 2 disc vinyl album, Music and Rhythm, originally released in 1982. The LP recording was a preview of the first World of Music, Arts, and Dance festival (WOMAD) held that year in Somerset, England to focus wider attention upon the traditional and contemporary music of non-western culture. The selections are by both western and non-western performers and reflect not only their own traditions but also the cross-pollination of other cultures. It was my first real exposure to what is now classified as World music. It remains an excellent introduction to this wonderful and diverse genre. Unfortunately both CD and LP are currently out-of-print. If you encounter this recording in either format, grab it. It will become one of your music collection's an all-time top ten favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to its title!, February 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best of Music and Rhythm (Audio CD)
This is an awesome album; a CD replacement for me as my vinyl version died.

If you like world beats at all, this is a must-have compilation.
