Gipsy Kings Gipsy KingsDiscs: 1 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: More than any other band, the Gipsy Kings are responsible for the renewed interest in gypsy music, and this is the album that broke them through to the international mainstream. Although their carefully crafted music is not "pure" gypsy, their impassioned performances create a window for the uninitiated into the deeper world of flamenco and other styles. If you're not a purist, the Gipsy Kings provide powerful, highly contagious, mostly acoustic music that may represent a new form of contemporary gypsy music for the masses; or you can view it as pure pop. This disc lays down their trademark mix of guitars, handclaps, and percussion over 12 varied tracks ranging from intense dance numbers to passionate love songs such as "Un Amor." Linking it all together are the throaty, emotional vocals, notably those of Nicolas Reyes, evoking the smoky campfires of his underprivileged brethren where this highly polished music originated.

Voices Of The Rainforest: A Day In The Life Of The Kaluli People Various ArtistsDiscs: 1 Date Added: 17 Jan 2010 Summary: Interesting, enjoyable record, but not for everybody. The album depicts an archetypal day in the life of the Bosavi people of Papua New Guinea. Some of the tracks are ambient recordings of jungle noises, with interesting titles that are apparently literal translations of Bosavi idiomatic phrases -- "From Morning Night to Real Morning," "From Afternoon to Afternoon Darkening," "From Night to Inside Night." Some of the tracks are women and men singing alone or with others, melodically repetitive & motivic, rhythmically subtle, energetic songs. One lovely, mesmeric track is of somebody playing a "Bamboo Jew's Harp" for four and a half minutes. Noises of the jungle accompany all of the "music" tracks. The excellent booklet notes by the producer/ethnographer inform us that the Bosavi people think of music and jungle noises as contiguous. Their phrase for music translates literally as "lift-up-over-sounding" -- a beautiful, evocative expression. According to the booklet notes, the Bosavi's homeland was threatened by surrounding industrialization. The Bosavi people knew this, and their fear led them to abandon the ceremonial singing included on the record during the time the album was recorded.
