Music reviews of Global Rhythm Presents: Edge of the World

Music Review: Hard to classify this appealing collection but I like it!!
Rating: 5 Stars

#4, from Los de Abajo (Those From Below) "El Loco" is is a rock/ska/reggae/ blend with political overtones to the lyrics.

#6 Terry Hall and Mustaq mixes Klezmer with something like Algerian Rai and Gypsy music. This is a gem--fusion that makes crazy sense.

#8 Blues guitarist Justin Adams played with Sinead O'Connor among others. He goes to Mali, that hotbed of delicious African music, for inspiration in bluesy, moody "Out of the Woods."

#9 Peret & Mauel Malou & Nilo mix Rhumba and African rhythms. If you like Nuevo Flamenco or that African-Latin fusion, this is a fine example.

And .....#10, my absolute favorite on the album, "Distance!" an addictive march with lead by Chinese Pipa lute player Wu Man, who blends in the digeridoo and (take a deep breath) the banjo. Does that sound weird? Trust me, It rocks! Worth the entire album for this crazy-Chinese-American-Australian mix that even has (I think) some Tuva or Mongolian type overtone singing thrown in for texture. Pipa artist Wu Man has recorded with Philip Glass, Yo-Yo Ma and the Kronos Quartet. More of this, please!

All in all, a stunning collection for the world music and fusion afficionado. Highly recommended!!
