Even a cursory glance at this two-disc, year-end, international compilation reveals a treasure trove of programming goodies. You’ve got your Bloomington conquerors (Amadou & Mariam, Seu Jorge et al.); you’ve got your bona fide global stars (Youssou N’Dour, Ali Farka Touré et al.); you’ve got your Caravan-familiar rising stars (Chango Spasiuk, Daby Balde et al.); you’ve got your fresh faces (Nairobi Yetu, Chehade Brothers et al.). We have the full release on about a dozen artists featured here, so in that sense it’s a reminder of the great stuff that’s come in this year, and a push to go deeper into their discs. At the same time, there’s ample new material here to richly satisfy those who feel Shiayni Ngcobo is sooo Summer 2005. Great set.
Disc 1: 13, 11, 04, 07, 01, 15, 03
Disc 2: 08, 03, 13, 16, 06, 01, 11
