This review is from: A World Instrumental Collection (Audio CD)

A truly remarkable album that includes music from such diverse places as India, Canada, South Africa, Camaroon, the Andes, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Ireland and the USA. Music really is a universal language, and this album is proof of that. This is an album that will make you want to explore more of the world's vast array of music. The booklet contains very interesting and informative notes on each artist and their music. It is also exciting to hear all the strange and unusual instruments that you don't get to hear in everyday music. Like the 'charango' for instance, which is a double stringed mandolin made from the shell of an armadillo. This is really an album that all music lovers should hear.
