Re: OT: other cool world music?

It occurred to me (as I was, today, transferring my CD collection from jewel 
cases to 48-CD "notebooks") that I have a little to contribute to this 
discussion also.

CHEB MAMI - "MELI MELI": Very interesting fusion of Egyptian music and 
hip-hop/funk from a French guy. Some songs sound more traditional and others 
are straight-out rap. Rap is a lot more fun to listen to when you don't know 
what they're saying :) Also there are some weird time-signatures floating 
around, very cool, recommended

"CUBA WITHOUT BORDERS" (Six Degrees): *Awesome* Latin party music. Latin and 
latin jazz. Awesome awesome awesome.
