LOL. Not exactly the experience I'm seeking through my music.

Hey everybody- I was wondering if I could get some help with finding world music... Just go ahead and list anything you this would be worth exploring and getting a better sense of what world music really is. I know this is kind of a vague and far reaching question- but that's okay. I'm looking to expand my music tastes.

There`s plenty of world music in among the English-language folk.

And vote for Putumayo! I'm sure you would enjoy that sample of African music.

Also, I shamelessly invite you to pick random songs from my thread on Argentina. I may post some things more "exotic", if you want.

I just went to Sweden and i've got to say I love the peoples taste of music here. First aid kit is crazy nice!

I heard some guys calling themselves "The Bland Band" playing in the streets a few days ago, some kind of country. Youtube them, it's a gass!

Enya's first album, "The Celts" is labeled as World music, The groups Anuna, Celtic Thunder, and Celtic Woman are good too, obviously all have Celtic leanings.

One of the great things about world music is that it`s such a limitless, catch-all genre.
Who, for instance, would imagine a band from this century devoting themselves to the works of a little-known London Jewish big-band leader from the 1950`s ? Certainly not me, until I came across this clip:-

Don`t have much info on these guys as they don`t seem to have recorded a cd yet; just a handful of Youtube clips ( of which this is the best ) and a rather scant website:-

Willy Bergman & His Yiddish Twist Orchestra

I've recently begun to really like Fela Kuti and Afrika 70. I bought Zombie and Expensive **** and really enjoy them.

Anyone have anymore Fela album recommendations, or Afrobeat groups?
