Ó Conaola
MacDara Ó Conaola is a native of
the Aran Island of Inisheer. He's steeped in the local
sean-nos style and sings
in both Gaelic and English. MacDara
takes a contemporary approach to this
traditionally solo song form and is accompanied
on this recording by a fine band.
...
Baile Uí Laoi is a romantic song in which a man going
to mass on a windy and rainy day meets the woman of his dreams...
For the rest of the song he compares her to the beautiful hills and
glens of his county, and to the birds singing sweetly in the trees.
He concludes in saying that none of this can compare with her, the
sunshine of his life.

The Garifuna people are a people

but were scattered along the mainland coast after being driven out
by the Spanish. Today they live in Belize, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras,
and various places in South America yet always in the minority. Wátina
is the first Garifuna record that I've played on the World Beat. We
hope to hear more from Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective
in the future.

Tinariwen
Aman Iman - Water is Life
Matadjem Yinmixan
World
Village Music
In the Tamashek language of the Toureg, Saharan
nomads from Mali, Tinariwen
means "empty spaces." The group Tinariwen was formed in
a rebel camp run by Libyan strongman, Muammar Gaddafi,
over two decades
ago, and has been making music in the desert ever since. Their use
of electric guitars was a first in a vast Saharran region where power
is only sporadically available. Their hypnotic desert-blues features
call-and-response vocals among the extended group. Underground cassettes
of their spellbinding music has counseled anti-violence and ethnic
pride among the youth of their war-torn region for over twenty years.
Listen now to music from the deserts beyond Timbuktu...
