5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best world music ever collected, August 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Planet Squeezebox: Accordion Music from Around the World (Audio Cassette)

A fantastic collection of music from the rollicking to the spiritual. The performers come from everywhere-- China, Northern Europe, Cajun country, India, Texas, Africa and of course Argentina. My particular favorites were unheralded jazz genius Alice Hall-- she can *swing* like no one's business-- to the deeply meditative Pauline Olivieros to the master himself, Astor Piazzolla. If you love accordions, get it. If you're indifferent to accordions, get it. If you think accordions are a satanic plot, then you definitely must get it. This music will change your world. Includes a great book explaining the styles and presenting the musicians.
