Anyone interested in world music?

For an interesting combination, try Afro Celt Sound System, on Peter Gabriel's World Music label.

Recommended is Vol. 2 "Release"

It reminds me both Portuguese fado and Russian romance.
Too bad I can't understand a word.
Pardon my ignorance, where does it come from? It's certainly not Greek.
I never heard this form before.

My picks:
Anjelique Kidjo
Yusun D'our
Dead Can Dance
Nils Petter Molvaer his first album "Khmer" based on world music and electronic jazz.
Balcan duo of Vlatko Stefanovsky and Miroslav Tadik.
Jon Anderson album "Deseo"
Cesaria Evora

Inna, I guess your last question is adressed to me? Here are some facts on wiki, they are mostly right, aldo the important part which describes actual way of life and living in time when that form of singing was born is missing from description

However, if you decide to try to find some more great sevdah music, I would be glad to recommend it, because, like in blues, there is lots of music that goes by that name,and its not realy that and has got no value at all, it justs falsy uses and exploits the real art form

This is a sample of some of the music that's been posted for this thread.
