Ethnic - Various Artists’s debut, ‘Cafe Arabia’, does not fit easily into one genre.

Since Mahmoud Ahmed last CD (Ethiopiques, Vol. 6: Almaz) on Mute Records back in 1999, I have felt a massive void in my life. Ethiopiques, Vol. 6: Almaz carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Mahmoud Ahmed on ‘Almaz Men Eda N’. IF you […]

Since Johnny Osbourne last CD (Truths and Rights) on Blue Note Records back in 1999, I have felt a massive void in my life. It’s natural for Johnny Osbourne to take a stab at ‘Truth And Rights’ considering her long-professed love for UB40. While no new Johnny Osbourne album is in sight, the artist has […]

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Transglobal Underground on ‘Temple Head (Burundi Mix)’. After seeing Temple Head (Burundi Mix), I had to have a good Transglobal Underground cd. On Backpacking On The Graves Of Our Ancestors: 1991-1998 (CD 2) album, Transglobal Underground have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t […]

I am not a real Ethnic music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Saranagati’ really is amazing. Lead single “Kijani Ki Bale Tomaro Dhamete” and “Suddha Bhakata Charana Renu” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since completing 1999’s ‘Kijani Ki Bale Tomaro Dhamete’, Bhakti Charu Swami fulfilled […]

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of PACIFIC MOON energies, virtually a rebirth. It’s natural for PACIFIC MOON to take a stab at ‘Aizu Bandaisan’ considering her long-professed love for Azymuth. ten years ago, PACIFIC MOON briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Falling Through a Cloud”. This […]

It’s natural for Pharaoh to take a stab at ‘Desert Sunrise’ considering her long-professed love for Godsplague. Ivan Grach has compared writing for Pharaoh’s new album to that on ‘The Miracel Of Egypt’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Pharaoh had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. […]

This track is just […]

Since completing 1999’s ‘Audiotrack 01′, Altai Ashram fulfilled their contract with Columbia Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This […]

Since Love Is Colder Than Death last CD (Atopos) on EMI Records back in 1999, I have felt a massive void in my life. While no new Love Is Colder Than Death album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1999 tour in Africa. Love Is Colder Than Death was […]

I am not a real Ethnic music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Rasdhara’ really is amazing. Hariprasad Chaurasia and Shiv Kumar Sharma’s debut, ‘Rasdhara’, does not fit easily into one genre. Rasdhara isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This is one of Hariprasad […]
