Sometimes a world music CD slips to the back of the drawer that was once staple listening; or a one-time folk favourite hasn't popped up on shuffle for a while. Last night I was travelling to Montrose and back, about an hour and a half, and dug out an old Charlie Gillett World Music collection for company and dipped into a record I used to play a lot back in the early days of the century. This one popped up, among others, and I thought: 'Fantastic! Haven't heard that one in a while'.

You're right JC - so much music, so little time.
For me, Mr Piazolla has recently slipped back into focus in the same sort of way, perhaps a tad of mournfulness is excused at this time of year

Brilliant - and I like JC's link too.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

There was a time when Manu Chao was everywhere, but ain't heard him in ages. This one turned up again yesterday.
Wonder where he went!Comment

Playing in Buenos Aires on Nov. 14. Not too late to go!Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostThere was a time when Manu Chao was everywhere, but ain't heard him in ages. This one turned up again yesterday.

Think he just got dropped by those fickle thrill-seekers on the UK World Music scene.
My nomination for today:
Chan Chan (no, not that one - one with animal noises and not many instruments at all) by Morena Son.

Oh yes! I like that one and I love the Dona Rosa song which you brought to my attention. In fact, Dona Rosa as a person and an artist. Very touching. On another point, when it came to the A-Z, the yodelling went in for you and Global. However, during the contributions to your Spotify list, I researched Kishore Kumar and I have now really taken to him.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostComment

That Dona Rosa is so beautiful. I knew you'd get that yodelling Bollywood, Lat. I keep missing the rest of the record and just playing it. Must try harder!Originally posted by Lat-Literal View Post
