1	Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World (1989) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka When South Africa was still suffering under the apartheid system in the 1980s, Johnny Clegg & Savuka was the last thing apartheid supporters wanted in a pop group. Their lyrics were often vehemently anti-apartheid, and apartheid supporters hated the fact that a half-black, half-white outfit out of South Africa was integrated and proud of it. ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.99!
2	Third World Child (1987) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka "Asimbonanga (Mandela)" is an anthem already adopted by Joan Baez and others, while the title tune devastatingly discusses what it's like to be asked to "walk in the dreams of the foreigner." William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.98! new only from $7.98!
3	Heat, Dust and Dreams (1993) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka A nice album of pieces, with almost lilting vocals coming from lead singer Johnny Clegg, from time to time almost reminiscent of some mixture of Dylan and Springsteen. The guitar work seems slightly influenced by reggae, which wouldn't be too surprising given the half-South African membership of the group. Overall rather pop-like, but a decently ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $3.99!
4	Shadow Man (1989) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka Another album from the multicultural/multiracial groups under Johnny Clegg's direction. The melding of South African styles with Western European pop is standard fare for Clegg, but nonetheless it always comes out sounding pretty good. There's a careful blending that doesn't always swing too far in either direction. The only real problem with the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.04!
5	One Life (2006) more music like this by Johnny Clegg It's easy to forget just what a world music pioneer Johnny Clegg was. Back in the '80s he was the first to mix rock and Zulu music, and scored a few global hits doing it. He's still going strong, doing exactly the same thing he's always done -- but it still sounds great, and remarkably fresh and passionate. Perhaps his greatest strengths are that ... see all copies from $41.59! new only from $41.59!
6	Putumayo Presents: South African Legends (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A surprisingly comprehensive collection, this album from Putumayo really does cover nearly every South African musical legend that's made a name for themselves (with the only really obvious exceptions being Dorothy Masuka and Dave Matthews, though the latter's music isn't as rooted in African tradition in the first place). The album opens with ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $13.37!
7	Best of Johnny Clegg & Savuka: In My African Dream (2002) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka Globally, Clegg is probably best recalled for "Scatterlings of Africa," understandably the leadoff track here. If not his manifesto (which was established long before his international fame), it makes his point, the mixing of rock and Zulu music, quite succinctly and wonderfully -- and he was doing it long before it became fashionable (indeed, ... see all copies from $19.27! new only from $19.27!
8	Planet Africa (1991) more music like this by Various Artists It's impossible to adequately present every African music style in an 11-song anthology, but this sampler does a decent job of spotlighting popular attractions and diverse genres. There are superstars Salif Keita, Youssou N'Dour, and Alpha Blondy, plus crossover group Juluka, the internationally prominent Toure Kunda, and longtime South African ... see all copies from $2.95!
9	One World (1996) more music like this by Various Artists One World is a charity album for UNICEF and it appropriately features an eclectic mix of artists from all different genres. Rockers like Toni Childs and Peter Gabriel rub shoulders with the Spanish music of Gypsy Kings, the worldbeat of Johnny Clegg and the reggae of Bob Marley. Naturally, such a mixture doesn't result in a coherent album, but it ... see all copies from $7.49!
10	Putumayo Presents: Africa (1999) more music like this by Various Artists If you're trying to be comprehensive, putting together a collection of modern African music could be overwhelming. Africa, after all, is a huge continent, and in the 1990s, it offered an incredibly wide variety of music that ranged from exuberant zouk and soukous to moody, jazz-influenced Ethiopian pop and the Middle Eastern-influenced sounds ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
11 view cover	Best of World Music: African (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The ethnic-flavored Putumayo clothing chain had long favored in-store soundtracks of light-textured world music. It was natural that CEO Dan Storper should decide to branch out into the music business, and the label is now respected for its genre compilations and single-artist releases and envied for its impressive sales volume. However, in the ... see all copies from $64.83! new only from $64.83!
12 view cover	Putumayo Presents the Best of World, Vol. 1: World Vocal (1993) more music like this by Various Artists A compilation from Putumayo dealing primarily with vocal works, although much of the work is very instrumental as well. Appearing here are multiple stars of different traditions. The great Jorge Ben (famous in the U.S. primarily for "Mas Que Nada," popularized by Sergio Mendes) shows up to sing a song praising soccer great Pele. Miriam Makeba's ... see all copies from $5.15! new only from $7.19!
13 view cover	Putumayo Presents the Best of World, Vol. 4: African (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Despite an exaggerated title, Rhino has compiled an excellent 14-cut anthology offering a fine helping of contemporary African music from the mid-'80s to the early '90s. They have also avoided too many names, with the exception of Johnny Clegg & Juluka, Toure Kunda, Mory Kante and Thomas Mapfumo. The other ten cuts include entertaining Nigerian ... see all copies from $6.03!
14 view cover	X Marks the Spot (1997) more music like this by Various Artists X Marks the Spot collects performances from world music performers like Ayub Ogada, Siyakha, and Devon. The collection's track listing emphasizes African and reggae music, as Ghorwane's "Sathuma," Johnny Clegg's "When the System Has Fallen," and Hugh Masekela's "Stimela" illustrate, but Paul Simon's "Proof," UB40's "Sing Our Own Song," and the ... see all copies from $2.99!
15 view cover	Carnival: Rainforest Foundation Concert (1997) more music like this by Various Artists To the extent that you can judge a various-artists compilation by looking at the list of artists, this one is hard to beat, including newly recorded tracks by Elton John, Madonna, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Sting, Tina Turner, and Bette Midler, among others. A benefit for the Rainforest Foundation, founded by Sting and his wife, the disc has as its ... see all copies from $2.99!
16 view cover	Discovery Channel: Travel Channel -- Around the World (1998) more music like this by Various Artists In the summer of 1998, Rhino released three collections designed to act as soundtracks -- or at least theme albums -- for three of the Discovery Networks' cable channels. Discovery Channel: Travel Channel - Around the World was one of these. The idea behind this disc was to compile a selection of indigenous musics from around the world, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	The Rhythm Safari: The Best of World Music (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Rhythm Safari: The Best of World Music is a budget-priced, 11-track collection that concentrates on African music, but it does toss in some Mediterranean, Spanish and Indian music for good measure. It's a good sampler, especially since it is faithful to the PC tastes of collegiate worldbeat fans of the early '90s, containing numbers from such well ... see all copies from $2.99!
18 view cover	Best of Live: At the Nelson Mandela Theather (2004) more music like this by Johnny Clegg see all copies from $21.93! new only from $21.93!
