Re: OT: other cool world music?

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

I would recommend you check out anything on the Nonesuch label in their 
catalogue of native world music.  It's been a long time and I don't even know 
if it still exists, but I do know that it was incredible.  Robert Palmer (just 
watch me namedrop!) went to their warehouse looking for some interesting stuff 
and ended up taking home the entire catalogue!  He certainly put it to
good use.
