You favourite

I am becoming increasingly interested in music from different parts of the world. I listened to 'Baro' by Habib Koite from Mali on the Putumayo Label. The music is described as ambient, gentle, soothing, rhythmical, acoustic, and soulful and I couldnt agree more. Unique vocals too. I have quite a few albums from Putumayo, and enjoy them greatly.

What artists do you enjoy, and where are they from? What would you recommend trying?
