1	Walela (1997) more music like this by Walela Familial vocal trio Walela's self-titled debut album is also their finest to date, an amalgamation of Native American roots music (specifically Cherokee), singer/songwriter folk, pop, and Southern gospel that's also not unappealing to new age sensibilities. Although the music is deeply rooted in tradition, its hybrid uniqueness gives it a ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $15.28!
2	Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues Recorded in the year 2000 in Bremen and in Hawaii, Hanapepe Dream is ethnomusicologist, guitarist, and composer Taj Mahal's own gumbo of Caribbean, Polynesian, African, and American folk roots styles done up in the glorious dress of "song," for anyone who has ears to hear, feet to shuffle, and an ass to shake.

7	Rumba Argelina (1996) more music like this by Radio Tarifa The concept of this debut album from Spain's leading roots ensemble is that you are listening to a radio broadcast in Tarifa, Spain's southernmost point, so that you might hear a mixture of sounds from Spain and North Africa. And indeed fuzzy, distant radio sounds introduce one song and close the album. The album features an incredible variety of ... see all copies from $13.31! new only from $17.94!

21 view cover	Glory (1991) more music like this by Joseph Spence Few musicians have as unique a sound as Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence.
