Music reviews of The Best of Music and Rhythm

Music Review: A glimpse of the World's Music
Rating: 5 Stars

This CD contains 13 cuts from a 2 disc vinyl album, Music and Rhythm, originally released in 1982. The LP recording was a preview of the first World of Music, Arts, and Dance festival (WOMAD) held that year in Somerset, England to focus wider attention upon the traditional and contemporary music of non-western culture. The selections are by both western and non-western performers and reflect not only their own traditions but also the cross-pollination of other cultures. It was my first real exposure to what is now classified as World music. It remains an excellent introduction to this wonderful and diverse genre. Unfortunately both CD and LP are currently out-of-print. If you encounter this recording in either format, grab it. It will become one of your music collection's an all-time top ten favorites.
