1	Spirit Songs: The Best of Bill Miller (2004) more music like this by Bill Miller Bill Miller's best-of collection, Spirit Songs, sets the record straight on one of the most terminally mishandled and misunderstood recording artists in American popular music. Miller is a rock & roll singer/songwriter who uses his Native American heritage and its traditions as part and parcel of his art. As a result, his records always get ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

3	Music of Indonesia, Vol. 17: Kalimantan: Dayak Ritual and Festival Music (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This volume returns to the Indonesian portion of Borneo, Kalimantan, scene of the string music sampled on volume 13.

8	Music of Indonesia, Vol. 16: Music from the Southeast (Sumbawa, Sumba, T (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The chain of dry islands from Lombok to Timor are economically poor, but culturally rich. They fall into two regions: Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) includes the western, Muslim islands -- Bali, Sumbawa, and Lombok -- which have Asian flora and fauna, and remnants of the melodic gong traditions exemplified in Javanese and Balinese gamelan; Nusa ... see all copies from $6.55! new only from $14.78!
9	Rough Guide to Arabesque (2002) more music like this by Various Artists People are familiar with rai or some of the more traditional music to emerge from North Africa and the Middle East, but lately there's also been an undercurrent of more adventurous music -- hip-hop and electronica. The roots still shout loud and proud, but the sounds (often made by artists who've moved to Europe or the U.S.) are as hard and modern ... see all copies from $8.04! new only from $13.70!
10	Music of Indonesia, Vol. 3: The Outskirts of Jakarta (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Gambang kromong, named for the gambang xylophone, is a regional Jakarta sound that goes back as far as the 1700s. The ensemble sound is long since out of style with the urban cultural elite, but it's still favored by fishermen, jitney drivers, laborers, peddlers, and factory hands in towns surrounding the enormous capital. As revealed here, the ... see all copies from $9.33! new only from $14.78!
11 view cover	This Child (1995) more music like this by Susan Aglukark On this release, Aglukark consolidated her sound, and with the assistance of Chad Irschick (who had contributed to her 1992 release Artic Rose) she managed to produce an album full of terrific songs with some heavy messages in the lyrics. This album crosses boundaries, so it is difficult to label its sound. Aglukark combines traditional native ... see all copies from $4.25!
12 view cover	Rapa Iti (1992) more music like this by The Tahitian Choir The Tahitian Islands include Oparo, also known as Rapa, where some 330 inhabitants dwell; 126 of the villagers comprise this choir. The unusual sonorities of all those singers, pure intonation not so much being the prerequisite as is the spirit, reflects the diversity of their distinct Polynesian culture. It sets them apart from Bulgarian but ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.93!
13 view cover	Rapa Iti, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by The Tahitian Choir The music of the Tahitian Choir is ineffably Polynesian in its format -- there's plenty of call and response between the male and female members on tracks like "Te Ture a Te Akiri," which also includes vocal percussion punctuation. And there are eerie harmonies, as on "Te Tia Mamoe" or "Te Pure a Te Fatu," a track reminiscent in some ways of South ... see all copies from $2.50!
14 view cover	Indonesia, Vol. 7 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists More than a decade of research and mobile field recording went into the highly acclaimed twenty-volume Smithsonian Folkways series devoted to the music of Indonesia.

17 view cover	Singing Earth (2002) more music like this by Xavier Quijas Yxayotl Guadalajara native Yxayotl is an artist, instrument builder, and musician, and all three come into play on this earthy, evocative release.

22 view cover	My Heart and Soul (2006) more music like this by Randy Wood Randy Wood from the Plains Cree tribe has continually performed a great service to Native American music with his imaginative writing and soulful singing. There's a marvelously emotive quality to his voice, and he uses it superbly here over the solemn beat of the pow-wow drum with Will Clipman subtly filling out the spaces on percussion. In many ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!

24 view cover	Our Love Will Never Die (2005) more music like this by Randy Wood The third album from Canadian Cree Randy Wood is a solo outing (as his first two were), just voice over the pulse of the drum. There's a lulling intimacy to the songs here, be they lullabies and romantic songs, but putting them in the context of the traditional Cree round dance. For something so sparse, it never feels empty. The constant rhythm is ... see all copies from $7.83! new only from $14.19!
25 view cover	Secret Museum of Mankind: Ethnic Music Classics, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists World music recorded during the first half of the 20th century, once etched onto wax cylinders and brittle 78s, has been diligently rescued and revived for presentation on this, the first volume from The Secret Museum of Mankind. This CD opens with a late '30s recording of an alluring yet laid back performance by a Nigerian choral, organ, and drum ... see all copies from $11.72! new only from $16.21!
