Your favorite recent discovery

Jewel - Indeed it is a treat! Thanks...I do enjoy these music threads for that reason....find someone who shares your tastes and it's a wonderful resource. I have not been able to find a copy of the new Lhasa you mentioned. It was not listed on Amazon.....is it an import? Or have my searching skills been tarnished by poor eyesight and or typing skills!?

Did you get the Qalan Kar CD? Yes, mostly percussion, but quite unique, and it really is amazing the sheer diversity of sounds they are able to get from those instruments.

I don't know if you searched some of my other responses, but another recent all time favorite which is sure to please someone of your tastes is Anouar Brahem, "Le Pas du Chat Noir" (hope I spelled all that right). Haunting and beautiful trio of oud, piano and accordian. I have never tired of this CD!

Gretchen Wilson- " I'm here for the Party"
several catchy tubes on this CD.

Ditto for Jack Johnson

Marco, Yes Lhasa's "Living Road" CD it still listed as an import but available at Amazon for a hefty $26. Although I saw an used copy for $15 at the same site. Another CD I just re-discovered (at a friends hoouse) last week. It is the sound track from "In The Mood For Love" movie. I don't know if you saw the movie, it is one of these movies that even if it were a silent movie, one could not help but like it. You can listen to sound clips at amazon. I'm about order it.
