World Music

by Jim_Eliason - last update: Jan 16, 2005

Music of the World

I have always been a music lover. I like great music regardless of the style. One of the joys of travelling I have found is to find new musicians that due to language or other cultural barriers are not knwon outside their own countries. Here are a few of my favorites.

I have to give credit to VT Member Jennifer Chin for inspiring this page with her own music pages.

Bjork-
Her music was a little far out to me until I heard Vespertine. This CD is really a masterpiece of classic/electronic fusion. You can honestly say there is nobody out there that sounds even remotely like Bjork.
Mana

Mana

This is a Mexico's premier rock band. I suggest checking out their new greatest hits CD's SOl or Luna.

For a sample check out http://launch.yahoo.com/ar-256678---Mana
Mariza

Mariza

Portugal's premier signer of FADO. This woman has one of the most powerful voices I have heard.

For a sample try http://www.rockpaperscissors.biz/index.cfm/fuseaction/current.media/project_id/91.cfm
Souad Massi

Souad Massi

An Algerian born folk singer now living in Paris, her music is a combination of Arabic and French. She is one of the most talented and unique song writers I have heard in a long time.

Check out http://souadmassi.artistes.universalmusic.fr/new/index_fla.htm
EGE

EGE

Another folk singer who combines pop melodies with traditional turkish instruments and themes.

Bebel Gilberto

Bebel Gilberto

This Brazilian jazz singer is from Brazil's most famous family of jazz musicians.

See http://www.bebelgilberto.com/disc/bebel.asp

Shakira

By now most of the world knows this South American artist. However most do not know that she was a superstar in SA long before the American music companies turned her into a Britney wannabe.

Check out her original Spanish language music for the true Shakira.
Brazil

Brazilian Music

I would be remiss if I did not give recognition to what I think is the most musical country on the planet, Brazil. Putumayo has some excellent collections or try out

So this is my best of. I would love to hear yours!

 Yes, the US $ is not very high at the moment. But also to me NZ$ 200 for a Rotorua trip is a lot of money. But really look which entry fees are included, they can be crazy. Will add a lot more AKL tips on next weeks, have taken a lot of new photos. Sissi
