Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Back now for the third successive year, Charlie Gillett's World 2002 selection--or rather, his radio listeners' selection through BBC London and the World Service--rounds up the best and/or most popular world music of the past 12 months. So World 2002 contains no surprises: everybody you expect to be there, is there, from Djelimady Tounkara to Los de Abajo, Les Negresses Vertes to Yat Kha. Gillett's taste is excellent, which means that absolutely everything is beguiling in its own particular way; he's also kept to the sunny side of the street, so that even his fado singer (Mariza) sounds quite jolly. Gillett's finger to the wind leads him into the year's most interesting cross-cultural experiments--Damon Albarn in Mali, and the French-Argentinian Gotan Project; the stuff he finds in Spain--Abya Yala--is a fascinating blend of muezzin plus car horns plus electrified oud. His Brazilian trouvaille (Tom Ze) starts with what sounds like an amplified toothbrush; several of these tracks represent such an eclectic mix that if you didn't know their provenance you'd find them totally unplaceable. Everyone will have their favourites: the new flamenco queen Estrella Morente and the joyful confluence of Bob Broznan with the multi-talented Rene Lacaille are particularly outstanding. --Michael Church

5.0 out of 5 stars
world record,
By Janet Miller (Braintree, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2002 World 37 Artists From (Audio CD)
These CD's (it's a set of 2) are THE best music I have EVER heard. The quality is top notch and the selections are amazing. I have it in my car and have not been able to change to any other CD's. I play it louder and louder and louder. I am not a fan of loud music but this music BEGS to be loud. The variety is amazing. Every song becomes my favorite until I hear the next cut. I believe this set captures the true sense of countries best musicians both vocal and instrumental. As each song progresses you actually get carried away with the rhythms.The way the cuts are placed in the CD's flow and you're on your way into the world of worldly music. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it needs more than 5 stars! Not to be missed!

A good assortment,

This review is from: 2002 World 37 Artists From (Audio CD)
I really do like this CD sampler a lot. The music is a broad distribution of music from around the world exemplified by excellent musicianship. I have discovered some new types of music that I now would like to explore further. My only complaint is that the music track selections do not always show the best offerings of a particular musician or group, even from a single album or year. Nonetheless, it is an enjoyable album.

Bad choice,
This review is from: 2002 World 37 Artists From (Audio CD)
What a waste of time and money in my opinion! Do you really want to hear songs from Cuba, Spain, Italy, France , Mexico? Don't search anymore; Listen to "fuerza". Manu Chao, Carotone, Macaco and plenty more give an excellent introduction. Mixing reggae, ska, rock will satisfy everybody. Feel the "fuerza" Joanna!
