"World" Music Talk
Johnny C:
Vusi Mahlasela is one of South Africa's greatest living folk musicians. He has a kind of "greatest hits" compilation, The Voice, available. It's very good.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
The Balinese Gamelan ensemble Dwi Mekar are amazing but I am not sure if they have made any albums.
That's all I got, World(no matter how vague the nametag is) rarely gets a spin 'round these parts... for no specific reason.
Except if you count Gåte's mix of electronica, hard rock etc. and old norwegian folk music.... or Sorten Muld.
Spinless:
Wrens are a REALLY underrated folk band from Sudan. You should check them out.
I recommend the last full length album, the meadowlands. Then get secaucus. Then hunt down the EPs. Then go for their first album
Also, there's this little CD by a portugese opera singer called 'Free Sentridoh'. Her music is fun, hunt down some of her earlier stuff, when she was called 'Sebadoh'.
She last worked on a fun folk record called 'Emoh', hunt that too.
Uh...

I never quite get what it means. Like, are folk and its various genres distinct from world at all? I know that world is a culturally biased term (could be 'other' music) but which cultural bias?
Could be that about a quarter of the music I listen to might be classified as 'world', in that it's not rock or techno or whatever.

I don't really think it;s a genre classification as much as it is something Americans use to refer to non-american music, as I sort of alluded to.
or did you just want to complain about music classification?...
