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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
