Reviews
Since Paul Simon's landmark album Graceland (1986), Americans have been increasingly exposed to exotic melodies and rhythms from other countries. This guide, geographically arranged, identifies the best-known solo performers and groups from Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and North and South America and lists over 200 recordings on CD. The book functions as an informative introductory guide to such diverse vernacular music as salsa, klezmer, rai, ska, juju, and gypsy pop and is intended for the first-time buyer with limited income and knowledge of world pop music. Recommended for public libraries with large music collections. Research libraries may want to wait for a more comprehensive, encyclopedic guide.-- Debora Richey, California State Univ.
