1.Beginner's Guide to World Music by: Various Artists November 11, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.39
Why waste loads of money, and loads of time, trying to build a half-way decent World-oriented CD collection (like I did), when you can buy this 3-cd collection for an absolute give-away price? Thoughtfully & intelligently compiled from some of the best labels' back catalogues. Not necessarily the most famous artists on here but that doesn't mean it isn't chock-a block with classy tracks. Get it. And get volume 2 while you're at it, it's even better.

I agree with johnnylips' review (below) - but would like to add that I think this is the best of Toure's albums. As rich as a good Kente cloth, as beautiful as a desert sunset, eternal as the river Niger - plus rhythms as funky as they get. Music that goes straight to the heart. Effortless riffs, improvisations upon simple themes - deceptively simple, that is. This is rich rich music! I was sad to hear that Ali 'Farka' Toure died earlier this year, but I am very grateful to him for leaving Niafunke, Mali, and the world at large a wonderful musical heritage.

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £5.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.87
I know little about world music and came to buy this having heard Toumani Diabaté's contributions to the Damon Albarn's co-authored Mali Music. I can see that some of the reviews here from the world music community have levelled accusations that this album is rather bland and that it has been watered-down to render it inoffensive for the wider music-buying community. Others have said that it is background music and that the musicians' playing is quite average and uninspired by their standards. From a layman's point of view, I cannot question the authenticity of the recording but can attest to the beauty of the music. If the accusation is that it is too simple, then my argument would be that simplicity is not necessarily a bad thing. The interplay ... Read More:
