EDITORIAL REVIEW >>
Since its launch in 1990, David Byrne's Luaka Bop label has quietly amassed a very impressive catalog, as this anthology clearly illustrates. While a lot of it tends toward the more cutting edge of world music (Cornershop, Tom Ze), there's still the shining purity of artists like Cesaria Evora and Susana Baca. Though Byrne himself has often looked south of the U.S. border for inspiration (his contribution here is a duet with Selena), and Luaka Bop has gained a reputation for its Latin music--its early Brazil series opened a lot of ears to the diverse musics of that country--that's far from all the label has to offer. Zap Mama have achieved remarkable popularity with a sound that has mutated into a kind of African hip-hop. So, kudos to Byrne, whose vision has made it all work (as Peter Gabriel has done at Real World). Here's a toast to another 10 years. --Chris Nickson

LISTENER REVIEWS >>
zero complaints:
If you're ADD like me and a cd can't hold your attention, you'll love this one. Each song is very unique, but everything flows vrey nicely together. If you like world music, but don't know much about the artists, this CD will give you a little taste of everything. Guaranteed to hold your attention!
Pleasantly suprised...:
I am a big fan of this mix by Luaka Bop. A nice bargain cd, which allows you to sample many different groups from all over the world. The first cd is really upbeat and gets you going, while the second cd slows you down alittle and is perfect for a relaxing dinner party.
Bargain Bonus:
I bought this CD because I was interested in a singer, Susana Baca. So, get this, the CD was on sale with a bargain price so I got it. What a find! I just love being surprised like this...and I'm tough!
