	Artist Anoushka Shankar Album Review Breathing Under Water Label: Manhattan Records Genre: Sitar Electronica Origin: USA Format: Music CD Wiki article
Like her father before her, Anoushka Shankar is a musical eclectic experimenting with forms far beyond those of Indian classical music.

	Artist Bassekou Kouyate with Ngoni ba Album Review Segu Blue Label: Out Here Records Genre: Folk Origin: Mali Format: Music CD, Import Wiki article
This is a gem. Bassekou Kouyaté is Mali's leading player of the ngoni, a simple desert lute that looks like a stocky cricket bat. It's West Africa's oldest string instrument and the ancestor of the banjo. One of the most gorgeous tracks is an instrumental with Toumani Diabate on kora. Laid-back music of the highest order.

	Artist Bob Marley Album Review Legend Label: Polygram Genre: Reggae Origin: Jamaica Format: Music CD Wiki article
This is an utter gem. Every song is inspired and in a class of its own,includes "I Shot the Sheriff," the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry," "Jamming." Legend is still the crème de la crème--the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one 5-inch compact disc. Click the link below to listen to samples

	Artist Bob Marley Album Review Exodus Label: Polygram Genre: Reggae Origin: Jamaica Format: Music CD Wiki article

	Artist Bob Marley Album Review Kaya Label: Island Genre: Reggae Origin: Jamaica Format: Music CD Wiki article

	Artist Camille Album Review Music Hole Label: 101 DISTRIBUTION Genre: Chanson Origin: France Format: Music CD, Import Wiki article
2008 release from the French vocalist best known for her work with Nouvelle Vague. Camille's third studio album 'Music Hole' shows a key turn in her career: it is mostly sung in English. "In 'Music Hole', I tried to mix the story-telling, "chansons" feel from musicals with something more tribal: body percussions, minimalist trance, sub bass and throat singing" says Camille.

	Artist Choying Drolma Album Review Selwa Label: Six Degrees Genre: Electronica Origin: Tibet Format: Music CD Wiki article
Minnesota-born guitarist Steve Tibbetts and Chöying Drolma, a sweet-faced, crop-haired Tibetan nun have created another series of placid sonic journeys, wherein Drolma's nasal yet pristine alto-to-mezzo soars amid a restrained blend of guitar, electronica, drones, and overdubbed voices. The album leaves a strangely energetic peacefulness in its wake. Samples available when you click the link below.

	Artist CSS Album Review Cansei de Ser Sexy Label: Sub Pop Genre: Rock Origin: Brazil Format: Music CD, Import Wiki article
From Brazil, CSS is the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. The title is Portuguese for "Tired Of Being Sexy" and the sound is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing. It's equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It goes full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Quick, tightly-wound, unfastened, and supreme.

	Artist Dadawa Album Review Seven Days Label: Wind Genre: Traditional Music Origin: China Format: Music CD Wiki article
Produced by the acclaimed composer, He Xun-tian, this recording is another avant-garde musical journey. Dadawa's unusual singing style enhances the mystical touch to this adventure. Enlightenment in seven days, each day (each track of music) opens up a new realization as the listener experiences it. The music raises a new sense of hearing, a new source of affection, and a new physical experience When you click the link below there are samples for you to hear
