OK, so this is just an excuse to get you to hear this NPR first listen that a friend just pointed me to: Angelique Kidjo's new album Eve. It's apparently sung in 5 languages: Fon, Yorùbá, French, Swahili and English. Anyone interested in fusions and eclecticism and genre-bending, give it a go.
There is more kindness on the internet than we would care to admit to ourselves. Sometimes we are so afraid of falling victim to a ruse, we miss out on actual opportunities.

A white guy probably wrote that blurb. Just listen to it, I think you'll find it interesting at least.

i love Angelique Kidjo.
i'll throw in a few artists that i quite enjoy as well:
- Amadou & Mariam (they're a blind couple from Mali with varied influences including rock. Amadou plays some pretty interesting guitar - i'd describe their style as sunny on the surface yet dark underneath.) Go to album: Dimanche à Bamako (2005)
- Tinariwen (also from Mali but they're, as opposed to the more urban Amadou & Mariam, from the Tuareg (desert) region. they also rock quite a bit - an essential band, world music or else) Go to album: Aman Iman (2007)
- Lhasa de Sela (one of my favorite musical artists - of Mexican and American origins, she lived in Montreal until her untimely death a few years ago from cancer. she only released three albums and all of them are really great but if i had to pick just one for you --->) The Living Road (2003)

As long as you can stand some of them I think they'll be OK.

Thread is fucked, someone post some world music
Jorge, would you be offended if I put some timbales and congas in here? South America is kind of 'world' for me.
