a| Since the birth of pop, the world's airwaves have been saturated with rock and disco. So when disaffected Western listerners discovered the traditional rhythms of the Third World, fused with modern instrumentation, the explosion of interest in world music was immediate. Artists like Bhundu Boys and Youssou N'Dour were stars with major record deals, but they were only the tip of the iceberg. This volume is an accessible, country-by-country guide to these and other indigenous musicians. It highlights leading performers, explaining their varied styles, and provides authoritative answers to the bewildering range of questions that have emerged. Who, for example, were the leading Algerian raj singers? Which Spanish rumba-rock group predated France's Gipsy Kings by fifteen years? What is the difference between banghra and gawwali? With entries listing the artists of more than 130 countries, discographies for hundreds of performers, and commentaries from Peter Gabriel, Andy Kershaw, Gilberto Gil, and Manu Dibango, among others, this book is the essential companion for devotee and beginner alike.
