1	Gabby (1995) more music like this by Charles "Gabby" Pahinui add to wishlist When the newly founded Panini label approached Gabby Pahinui in 1971 to record a new album with family and friends, the innovator of the slack-key guitar lately jumped on the opportunity. What evolved was one of the most celebrated recordings in Pahinui's career. Gabby (also known as "the Brown Album" due to the brown hues of the album cover) was ... see all copies from $36.00! new only from $51.44!
2	Ethiopiques, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale, 1969-1974 (1998) more music like this by Mulatu Astatke add to wishlist To some, the term "Ethiopian jazz" might seem impossible; after all, it's a very American form. But what's truly surprising isn't the fact that these musicians play jazz so well, but the range of jazz they manage, from the George Benson-ish guitar workout of "Munaye" to the twisting sax of "Tezeta." Really, though, it's more Jimmy Smith than Duke ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $14.19!
3	Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Featuring the languid, tropical sounds of the slack key guitar, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 picks up where the best-selling first volume left off. This collection includes songs by artists like Keola Beamer, Sonny Chillingworth, Led Kaapana, Ray Kane, and Dennis Kamakahi. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.62! new only from $3.62!
4	The Master Musicians of Jajouka (1972) by The Master Musicians of Jajouka add to wishlist Recorded in 1972, this album is something of a follow-up to Brian Jones Presents: The Pipes of Pan at Joujouka, the album recorded by the Rolling Stones guitarist in 1968 that was released on Rolling Stones Records in 1971. In fact, there is even a track called "Brian Jones." There is such an encrustation of myth and purple prose attending the ... see all copies from $12.02! new only from $12.02!
5	Shaday (1988) more music like this by Ofra Haza add to wishlist This CD made Haza a household name throughout Europe because it was her first to sell millions of copies there, earning her the nickname "the Israeli Madonna." She combines Hebrew, Yemenite, and English in prayers and original compositions with a driving European dance beat. Included is the international hits "Im Nin Alu" and "Galbi" (later made ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $2.49!
6	Strength (1997) more music like this by John P. Kee & the New Life Community Choir add to wishlist Faced with challenges from young upstarts like Kirk Franklin, John P. Kee -- one of the major innovators in contemporary gospel -- comes back strong with Strength. All of the hallmarks of his music are here, but Kee's sense of direction and musical acumen are at a near-peak. His blend of classic gospel, urban soul, and traditional R&B sounds as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
7	Migration (1992) more music like this by Peter Kater/R. Carlos Nakai add to wishlist Migration seems almost capable of sweeping away any sense of trouble, and soothing out any fears. The music on the album is basically of an improvisational nature, with pianist Kater and flautist Nakai developing themes and ideas that were then fleshed out in the process of recording. The music was conceived originally as a foundation for personal ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $13.76!
8	How the West Was Lost (1993) more music like this by Peter Kater & R. Carlos Nakai add to wishlist In 1993, the Discovery Channel aired a six-hour miniseries documenting the experience of the Native Americans during America's westward expansion. Peter Kater created a three-hour score for How the West Was Lost. He captured 65 minutes of his favorites for the CD. His friend R. Carlos Nakai co-wrote many of the pieces and is one of the featured ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.60!
9	Traditional Music from Cape Breton Island (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Traditional Music From Cape Breton Island is a lively set of Scottish-influenced reels, jigs, and marches recorded before a live audience at the 1993 Cork University Traditional Music Festival. And while Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, is filled stem to stern with talented musicians, the array of talent here is nevertheless striking. Fiddlers John ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
10	Ethiopiques, Vol. 9: Alemayehu Eshete (2001) more music like this by Alemayehu Eshete add to wishlist This disc offers 22 tracks from the man once known as the Ehtiopian James Brown. Like the others in the series, the music here is funk-tinged with Armenian overtones. Like most of the other volumes, this one is a stone blast all the way through. Eshete was a soul singer in the classic tradition. He didn't so much sing to his audience as seduce it, ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
11	Stand (1995) more music like this by John P. Kee & the VIP Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir add to wishlist see all copies from $4.71! new only from $8.01!
12	Show Up! (1995) more music like this by John P. Kee & the New Life Community Choir add to wishlist see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
13	Ethiopiques, Vol. 1: Golden Years of Modern Music (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This first volume of the Ethiopiques series just begins to show the scope of the golden age of Ethiopian music, loving assembled, remastered, and annotated. What's obvious is the influence of American soul and blues, the former quite apparent in the Memphis groove of Muluquen Mellese's "Wetetie Mare," with its smoking bassline. Mellese himself has ... see all copies from $14.49! new only from $14.49!
14	Ofra Haza (1999) more music like this by Ofra Haza add to wishlist The final disc from Israeli diva Ofra Haza, recorded in 1997, prior to her too early death from AIDS-related complications, showcases her multifaceted pop styles. It might be more mainstream than her earlier work, but it expands her horizons, and the powerful opener, "Show Me," harks back to that work with Middle Eastern instruments. "Im Nin Alu ... see all copies from $7.10! new only from $7.10!
15	Honorable Sky (1994) more music like this by Peter Kater and R. Carlos Nakai add to wishlist Honorable Sky by Peter Kater and R. Carlos Nakai is a continuation of their acclaimed acoustic music accomplishments. Piano, flute and alto sax flow together seamlessly in sound so subtle--sometimes just barely a whisper--it begs your attention. Awarded the best New Age recording in 1992 by NAIRD and composers of the soundtrack to the successful ... see all copies from $13.44! new only from $13.44!
16	Secret Museum of Mankind: Ethnic Music Classics, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Volume Two of The Secret Museum of Mankind: Ethnic Music Classics, 1925-48 is a diverse collection of old and rare international musical recordings. Opening with an all male choral bellow from a 1930s New Caledonian group, this CD jumps to a Bulgarian rachinitza, a lyrical Puerto Rican aguinaldo that's usually associated with Christmas festivities ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
17	Pride of Punahele (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist With the growth of the Hawaiian tourist industry, the traditional sounds of the islands was often watered down to appeal to folks who only listened while sipping umbrella drinks. Thankfully the independent music movement in the 1990s has helped contemporary Hawaiian folk music flourish. This album features tracks by artists Keali'I Rechel, Uluwhi ... see all copies from $2.47! new only from $14.14!

22	Sacred Heart (2000) more music like this by Peter Ostroushko add to wishlist Fiddle and mandolin player Peter Ostroushko completes his "heartland" trilogy with Sacred Heart, which follows Heart of the Heartland and Pilgrims of the Heart Road, each of them ten-track albums of his original material. But where Heart of the Heartland eschewed drums for a completely string-oriented acoustic and instrumental sound and Pilgrims ... see all copies from $8.52! new only from $19.99!
23	Ethiopiques Vol. 19: Alemye (2005) more music like this by Mahmoud Ahmed add to wishlist Volume 19 of Buda Musique's Ethiopiques series focuses on some 1974 performances by Alemye Mahmoud Ahmed, one of the finest, most expressive and valuable singers to come out of Ethiopian pop. The '70s were a time of tremendous political turmoil for Ethiopia; Emperor Haile Selassie (who has been the subject of many reggae lyrics) died on August 27, ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
24	Bosavi: Rainforest Music From Papua New Guinea (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc field recording chronicles the music of the Bosavi ethnic group of upland Papua New Guinea. The Bosavi live in a group of villages in the rainforest around the base of an extinct volcano in the heart of New Guinea. The Bosavi were largely isolated from outside society until about 1970, when Western missionaries arrived with oil ... see all copies from $23.01! new only from $23.01!
25	The Prisoner's Song [Hungaroton] (1988) more music like this by Muzsikas add to wishlist A dark and powerful statement of life in a Cold War climate is explored through traditional Hungarian songs and instruments. Marta Sebestyen's amazingly evocative voice connects with the medieval sound of the hurdy gurdy and the sting of Mihaly Sipos's Gypsy violin. [This album was re-released on Hungaroton Records in 2001.] ~ Bob Tarte, All Music ... see all copies from $18.88! new only from $18.88!
