 I didn't even know world music | |
| One World is one of our two or three favorite albums. The selection of songs is inspired.
By now too, we've given One World to friends and family. Everyone has really enjoyed it. | |
| Wonderful and Diverse! | |
| I got this CD for my birthday and played it immediately. I was instantly floored by the quality and diversity of the music. I love the fact that Russian, Jamaican, Scottish, and African music (just to mention a few) are all on the same CD. It really lets you recognize the similarities (and differences) of music around the world. It says in the liner notes that unfortunately Putumayo was not able to include Asian or Latin music on this disc, but if you want to hear that music, buy "Music from the Tea Lands" or "Latin Groove" (this in no way makes "One World" less recommended). I would have to say that my favorite tracks on this album would be "Ohureo" from Cameroon/UK and "Dalshe" from Russia. "Ohureo" is beautiful, haunting, and melodic. The song just flows so beautifully. "Dalshe" is a little less folk-y. The pumping bass, the awesome melody, and everything in general about this song is excellent. These are songs you would not, and could not, find anywhere else than this CD. BUY IT NOW AND SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING!!! | |
