verdensmusikk omfatter uttrykksformer sterkt påvirket av lokal tradisjonsmusikk ... som oftest folkemusikk eller populærmusikk med ikke-vestlige røtter

"Kidjo has the vocal chops of a diva and the jauntiness of a young child discovering song for the first time. On tracks such as the rollicking «Ominara» and the heartbreaking ballad «Okan Bale», language barrier is subverted: Kidjo's voice is a babel fish for the human spirit." [Rolling Stone]

Anouar Brahem

Conte de L'incroyable Amour

"Gives a fascinating angle on the strands of influence which stretch from one end of the Mediterranean to the other...beautiful." [Vox]

Bebel Gilberto

Tanto Tempo

"Tanto Tempo effortlessly bridges the gap between classic Brazilian rhythms and contemporary pop/dance soundscapes...wonderfully capturing the carefree and sensual spirit of walking along the sandy beaches of Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana. Tanto Tempo is as cool as it is hot." [Billboard]

Brian Eno

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

"The songs on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts present myriad elements from around the world in the same jumbled stew, without regard for race, creed, or color. As such, it's a tremendously prescient record for the future development of music." 5/5 [AMG]

Bruce Cockburn

Breakfast in New Orleans, Dinner in Timbuktu

"A sweet spoken word on dry on riff quietly turns into what could be described as if Eric Clapton did Paul Simon's Graceland, one of the uptempo numbers...superb blends of traditional western guitar/bass/drums arrangement with gliding African rhythms and traditional instruments." [Ink19]

Ibrahim Ferrer

Buenos Hermanos

"Blant stjernene i Buena Vista Social Club, er det kanskje en som lyste sterkere enn de andre, nemlig Ibrahim Ferrer. Han sjarmerte oss i senk med sin vakre og innsmigrende sang...Det er bare å bøye seg dypt for den energien og lekenheten som Ferrer oppviser...dette er definitivt en av "må-ha"-platene." 6/6 [Aftenposten]

John Renbourn

A Maid in Bedlam

"A superb collection of traditional songs and Renaissance dances, it features the sublime voice of his Pentangle mate Jacqui McShee." 4.5/5 [AMG]

Kate Rusby

10

A brilliant 10 Years Anniversary Collection: "Folk music doesn't get much cooler..." [Q Magazine]

Loreena McKennitt

The Book of Secrets

The third album in a trilogy of musical travel documents which began with The Visit. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in England, The Book of Secrets was written and researched all over the world and features a cast of over two dozen musical collaborators.

Los Super Seven

Canto

"Canto fremstår som et enormt overskuddsprosjekt, og platen oser av spilleglede og gode vibber. En feelgood-plate som får en til å lengte til sommeren og varmere dager." [groove.no]

Maire Brennan

Whisper To The Wild Water

"The massed backup vocals with their ethereal sound often recall the work of Brennan's sister Enya, though her songs are more focused...sometimes the music sound like it comes from centuries ago, despite the occasional electric instrumentation and 1990s production values." [AMG]

Mariza

Fado Curvo

"Allerede med sin første plate bergtok hun portugiserne. Selv om Mariza utfordret fadoens grenser og form, både gjennom måten å være på, og måten å synge på. Men - og som hun viser til fulle på sin nye plate - er hun så fado-full av lidenskap, smerte og savn, at hun trollbinder deg omtrent fra første tone." 5/6 [Aftenposten]

Omara Portuondo

Flor De Amor

"She's created a great soundtrack for the summer, and as perfect a Latin album as you could hope to find." [Uncut]

Oregon

The Essential

Blending instruments such as twelve string acoustic guitar, tabla, string bass, and oboe in this 1970s collection, the original members of Oregon simultaneously embrace jazz and classical harmonies and global folk rhythms.

Richard Bona

Scenes from my Life

"Richard Bona's debut solo album Scenes from My Life is an unexpected delight, a first effort of such assurance that it's nearly irresistable. Bona blends a smooth production with fusions of contemporary jazz and music from his native country, Cameroon, West Africa." [AMG]

Rokia Traoré

Bowmboi

"Rokia Traoré fra Mali skriver låtene sine selv og lar sin lyse stemme improvisere over et komp som gjør det vanskelig å holde kroppen i ro. Akustisk og jordnært, en karavane av fargesprakende toner." [Dagbladet]

Rubén González

Introducing...Rubén González

"The greatest piano soloist I have heard in my life. A Cuban cross between Thelonious Monk and Felix the Cat." [Ry Cooder]

Runrig

The Stamping Ground

"There isn't a weak cut, and Malcolm Jones, ever the hero, plays scything guitar throughout, one minute glorious sweeps of pipe like lead, the next raging through some blistering jigs on «The Engine Room»...this band know and love where they come from" [Folk Roots]

Ry Cooder

Mambo Sinuendo

"Mambo Sinuendo projects the speculative, imaginary, post-futurist popular music of the 1950s, when everything seemed possible..." [Roots World]

Salif Keita

Moffou

"The largely acoustic Moffou is Keita's return to form. This is the way Keita's glorious voice works best: singing hymnlike songs, bouncing over gently insistent beats." [Rolling Stone]

Shooglenifty

The Arms Dealer's Daughter

"The injection of young Tasmanian mandolin / bouzouki / banjo whizz Luke Plumb into the group has given it a huge melodic lift...«Scraping the Barrel» is a set of three tunes that range from menace to mania, all the while keeping within ear-shot of the Scottish melodic tradition" [Folk World]

Susana Baca

Eco de Sombras

"Showcases Susana Baca's pure, melancholic vocals alongside a cool backdrop of Spanish guitar, percussion and bass...when she lightens up...the world seems a better place." [Q Magazine]

Tonino Baliardo

"On his first solo outing, Baliardo takes a short working vacation from the Gipsy Kings without straying from his home sounds. The album is more intimate than the Kings' multi-guitar attack and features few vocals, but continues to explore the same flamenco-rooted sound." [globalrhythm.net]

Youssou N'Dour

Nothing's In Vain

"An album of stunning power, offering something from deep within his soul...the greatest artist in Africa has made the album of his life." [Mojo]
