This review is from: Songs of the Siren: Irresistible Voices (Audio CD)

If you enjoy world music and female vocalists, you'll find this a really interesting collection. A few of these women are major international stars -- among them the American indie sensation Feist, the Brazilian Bebel Gilberto (daughter of bossa nova founder Joćo Gilberto), the Italian-French Carla Bruni (wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy), and the British neo-soul singers Corinne Bailey Rae and Alice Russell. Many of the recording artists represented are hyphenated lesser-knowns, but they are no less deserving of attention: Lila Downs (Mexican-American), Marta Topferova (Czech-Spanish), Keren Ann (Israeli-Dutch), Ayo (Nigerian-German), and Maria de Barros (Senegalese-Cape-Verdean). The remaining performers include El Perro del Mar (aka Sarah Assbring) from Sweden, Juana Molina from Argentina, Bebe from Spain, Ana Moura from Portugal, Sia from Australia, and the American group Si*Sé (with lead vocals by Carol C).
