Book Reviews of the World Music: The Basics
Customer Review: Worth buying for the CD recommendations alone!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a huge World Music junkie, I have been searching for a book of this sort. I have always enjoyed exploring new artists from all over the world, but the hunt can prove overwhelming and this book gives a great help.
It is great fun to read, full of interesting historical and musical facts - this guy really did his reasearch! It has some really interesting and daring political insights that impress me very much.
But the best thing for me about this book is all of the CD recommendations which are incredible. I have gotten more than 10 cds so far, based on recommendations from "The Basics" and they have been right on! Really discovering lots of new and fabulous stuff here.
I unhesitatingly recommend picking this up. A gem!
