3	Putumayo Presents: World Hits (2007) more music like this by Various Artists It probably helps to define the word "hit" before determining whether this 11-song compilation lives up to its title. If it means that a record must have placed in the Billboard Top Ten in America, then the title is a fib -- not all of these recordings even made the Top 100. And if World Hits is meant to imply that its contents are sung in ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
4	Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 4: Soul (1994) more music like this by Various Artists While the material on volume four of Rhino's rock instrumentals set chronologically preceded what was on the third volume, no soul, R&B, or even soul-jazz and funk fan should mind these 18 genuine classics, including two superb numbers from Booker T. and the MGs, seminal tracks by the Mar-Keys, Bar-Kays, and Cannonball Adderley, and great Latin ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
5	Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion [Box Set] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The three-disc box set Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion was released just after PBS premiered the program of the same name, which featured new performances -- from Anita Ward, Thelma Houston, A Taste of Honey, KC & the Sunshine Band, and several others -- with archival footage from the disco era. Content-wise, the box doesn't do much to ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
6	Crooklyn, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The second collection of songs from Spike Lee's Crooklyn is nearly good as the first, featuring a wealth of first-rate '70s soul and R&B. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.35!
7	Latin Dance Mix Hits 2000 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

10	Wakafrika (1994) more music like this by Manu Dibango Among American audiences, Manu Dibango is best known for "Soul Makossa," a highly infectious blend of African music, soul-funk, and jazz that became a major pop hit in the early '70s. The African artist revisited his signature tune on 1994's Wakafrika, which boasts an all-star cast that includes Peter Gabriel as well as Haiti's Papa Wemba and ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $9.55!

12 view cover	Electro Funk, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Electro Funk, Vol. 2 contains a selection of 11 computerized electro-funk hits from the early '80s, including cuts from Grandmaster Melle Mel's "The Message II," Debbie Deb's "When I Hear Music," Jamie Jupiter's "Computer Power," World Class Wreckin' Cru's "Surgery," Afrika Bambaataa's "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and Egyptian Lover's "Egypt, ... see all copies from $6.71!
13 view cover	Sunnyside Cafe Series: Cafe Mundo/An Electro World Experience (2004) more music like this by Various Artists "An Electro World Experience," as this album is subtitled, can mean virtually anything, from chillout to funk, electronica to world, and the compilers take the definition liberally. There's definitely plenty of world music, running the gamut from the chilled (Hamid Baroudi with the endearing "Trance Dance" in a remix) to the decidedly funky ... see all copies from $10.36! new only from $18.07!
14 view cover	Afrobeat Sessions (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.20! new only from $24.20!

17 view cover	Caribbean Funk (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.80! new only from $5.80!
18 view cover	Funky Sitar Man (197?) more music like this by Bill ''Ravi'' Harris & the Prophets Bill "Ravi" Harris is the funky sitar man. Ravi Harris & the Prophets play James Brown/Meters-inspired funk with a difference: The main voice on these instrumentals is sitar. It might be viewed as a gimmick -- if it didn't work so well. Harris is never going to make it as a performer of Indian classical music; he hasn't got the chops for that, ... see all copies from $39.95! new only from $39.95!
19 view cover	Soul Manifesto Live (2003) more music like this by Rodney Jones see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
20 view cover	Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light (2004) more music like this by Afrika Bambaataa Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light is just as all-encompassing as you'd expect, best illustrated by the difference between the two choices for cover versions. The first to appear is "Metal," originally a sleek, cold electro-pop song recorded by Gary Numan (who also happens to provide a new vocal). And then there's "Soul Makossa," originally ... see all copies from $8.64! new only from $8.64!
21 view cover	Essential Recordings (2006) more music like this by Manu Dibango Though flawed, this is a useful two-CD overview of Manu Dibango's recording career. Its arc encompasses pre-"Soul Makossa" material (when he was primarily known only in Africa) to much more recent recordings, well after he became more renowned in Europe and North America. The chief flaw is that it can't be determined exactly how old or recent many ... see all copies from $23.13! new only from $23.13!
22 view cover	Africadelic: The Best of Manu Dibango (2003) more music like this by Manu Dibango Africadelic: The Best of Manu Dibango is an outstanding retrospective of Manu Dibango's career, with a focus on the early years. With Dibango hailed as one of the early originators of the world music scene, this album does a good job of looking over the years prior to his mainstream breakout with "Soul Makossa" (1973). In reality, Dibango was ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $13.14!
23 view cover	Living in the Streets, Vol. 3 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The third volume of this unusual but very worthwhile series shows no signs of running out of steam in its excavation of obscure oddball goodies of the stranger manifestations of R&B in the late '60s and early '70s, and occasionally a bit later (one track on here's from 1979). one of the better tracks, the Generation's storming funk-rock "I'm a ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
24	Soul Makossa (1973) more music like this by Afrique Now here's an odd one. The track "Soul Makossa" was a hit for Manu Dibango in early 1973. After it was issued, a lot of folks sought to cover it -- most badly. But, in this case, that single track spawned a band of studio musicians hell bent on creating not only a club and jukebox 45 hit of the Dibango original, but an entire set of groove-driven ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
25 view cover	Year of the Snake (2003) more music like this by Ken Field's Revolutionary Snake Ensemble On Year of the Snake, the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble met a tough challenge: to create jazz with roots in the jovial New Orleans brass band tradition, but with more than enough modern twists to make it sound fresh and original, and certainly not at all revivalist. It's not just that the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble mix original material and ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
