Release Notes:
Although its focus is acoustic-oriented world
music, Unwired doesn't limit itself to traditional
sounds ù in fact, much of the compilation consists
of contemporary, even cutting-edge pop from various
continents. Covering a lot of territory, this
excellent CD take us to various parts of Africa
with selections by Toumani Diabate and Baaba Maal,
as well as to Spain with Duquende's "Lo Bueno y lo
Malo" (an appealing example of the type of nuevo
flamenco that has been the rage in Spain since the
1970s), and to Latin America with Argentinean tango
vocalist Adriana Varela's dramatic "La Casita de
Mis Viejos" and Colombian vallenato artist Maximo
Jimenez's "Vuelo en Libelula." (Quite different
from cumbia, vallenato is an exuberant,
accordion-based style that comes from Colombia's
Atlantic coast.) India is represented by Shivkumar
Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia's "Love," while
instrumental Finnish folk is represented by the
all-female quintet Niekku's "Yski Ruusu." One of
the best songs on the album is Sudanese singer
Rasha's "Azara Al Hay," a haunting, jazz-influenced
gem. Not the least bit predictable, Unwired is well
worth obtaining.
