5 out of 5 stars world record.......2003-06-15

These CD's (it's a set of 2) are THE best music I have EVER heard. The quality is top notch and the selections are amazing. I have it in my car and have not been able to change to any other CD's. I play it louder and louder and louder. I am not a fan of loud music but this music BEGS to be loud. The variety is amazing. Every song becomes my favorite until I hear the next cut. I believe this set captures the true sense of countries best musicians both vocal and instrumental. As each song progresses you actually get carried away with the rhythms.
The way the cuts are placed in the CD's flow and you're on your way into the world of worldly music. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it needs more than 5 stars! Not to be missed!

4 out of 5 stars A good assortment.......2003-04-30

I really do like this CD sampler a lot. The music is a broad distribution of music from around the world exemplified by excellent musicianship.

I have discovered some new types of music that I now would like to explore further. My only complaint is that the music track selections do not always show the best offerings of a particular musician or group, even from a single album or year. Nonetheless, it is an enjoyable album.

1 out of 5 stars Bad choice.......2002-11-18

What a waste of time and money in my opinion! Do you really want to hear songs from Cuba, Spain, Italy, France , Mexico? Don't search anymore; Listen to "fuerza". Manu Chao, Carotone, Macaco and plenty more give an excellent introduction. Mixing reggae, ska, rock will satisfy everybody. Feel the "fuerza" Joanna!

5 out of 5 stars 37 Artists, 24 countries, 2 great CDs of World Music.......2002-10-17

I love these Narada sampler albums of New Age and World music because I discover so many new and interesting artists. "World 2002" a compilation of World music is no exception. I discovered several artists whose work I would have had trouble finding if these samplers didn't present them. This album goes all over the globe, every continent except Australia (which is too bad, as they have some great World artists.)

In particular, the first cut on CD #1 by Mariza is a fine introduction to Fado, the traditional singing of Portugal. This was my first exposure to Fado, and I will be back for more, probably from Mariza's "Fado em Mim" album, that's for sure.

I also really liked the cut "Hulum" by Amal Murkus, a Palestinian singer. Sainkho Namtchylak, from the Tuva in Central Asia sings alluringly, with examples of what sounds like overtone singing here and there in "Dance of the Eagles." It's mysterious and exotic, but entirely listenable. It's one of my favorites on the set.

One disappointment; I did not think the cut by the well-known Ladysmith Black Mambazo was particularly good. I like this group (made famous by Paul Simon on his "Graceland" album) but this cut did not do them justice. I found it somewhat flat and fragmented.

All in all, if you want an intro to World Music or a good sampler collection, this is an excellent 2-CD set. I can't wait to hear next year's collection.

5 out of 5 stars Black German Pride.......2006-01-24

Thank you Joy for representing Black Germans through your music. As music is often referred to as the "universal language"
it is in this case a way to make others aware that we exist and have existed but never acknowledged. We are truly grateful to you for making our presence known. You wonderfully express our pain & struggle in your music.

We are anxiously waiting to hear more from you in the future. Vielen Dank und bitte, mehr, mehr, mehr.

5 out of 5 stars Could be a Hit in the U.S. (Final Review).......2004-11-23

This might be the first of two reviews written by me of this cd. I accidentally sent a draft review in then emailed Amazon twice asking if it could be deleted and this one submitted. Since they have not gotten back to me, I had to submit my finalized review under a different account.) I have had this cd for about a month now, and I still listen to it every day. Now, I can not speak to what the lyrics are saying specifically as I do not understand German or any of the other langauges to be found on the cd besides English, but that is not even important here. The songs still touch me deeply and/ or make me dance. And isnt that what good music is supposed to do? Due to much research, I at least have a sense of what each song is about. Many other reviewers have compared Denalane to "Neo Soul" artists such as Badu, Arie, Scott, etc. Perhaps this is because there is a level of political, cultural, and womanist conciousness in her lyrics! But stylistically, If I were to group her with more contemporary artists it would be with the "New Jack Swing" artists Mary J. Blige, and one of my favorites, Faith Evans. Moslty, her slower songs remind me of the ones found on Evan's first cd. The similarity in sound/style to Blige can be heard on Wem Gehort Die Welt. Her guests/backup singers sound as beautifully as she, and African instruments make this cd just come alive. Nina Simones's Four Women sung by Tavares, Chinowiso, Deborah, and Joy is ingenously done with each woman singing their part in Portuguese, Shona, French, and German respectively. It is one of my favorites on the cd! Chinowiso JAMS on her part! Joy's English version of B. Holiday's I Cover the Waterfront only further solidified my opinion of hers as one of the more exciting and sensual voices I have heard in a while. The transition from .. Waterfront into the Outro, which is mostly instrumental, is HOT! As for one reviewer's comments about track 18, it actually starts out as an African a capella song. Deep in track 18 there is a club version of Geh Jetzt. Here is where you will find the weakest part of the cd. If Joy has managed to make German sound easy on the ears of R and B lovers, the rap in the song has done just the opposite! The song would have been better without it! Nevertheless In English, this CD would easily be a chart topper in the U.S.! And if our radio stations were more open to playing international music, it very well might be a hit even without translation! Good job to everyone who worked on this project! I have been spreading the word about this cd! I might even order the live version of it! Now, to find an English translation of the lyrics!

5 out of 5 stars Could be a hit in the U.S........2004-11-03

First let me say, I do not speak/read/understand a word of any language in which Joy sings besides English! Secondly, I first came across this sistah's work when I bought a CD called Global Soul which included Hochste Zeit on the compilation. About six months ago I listened to samples of other songs from Mamani online and was determined to get this CD. I asked a friend of mine in England to see if she could get it for me. I got it in the mail yesterday. Now, I can not speak to what the lyrics are saying specifically, but that is not even important here. Many other reviewers have compared her to comtemporary "Neo Soul" artists. Maybe the comparsions are due to similarities in lyrics, but in terms of sound, depth, passion, and talent, Ms. Denalane's sound is closer to that of pure R & B artists of the 70s and earlier. THIS is refreshing! The grooves on her slower songs are those that make you want to grab a partner and have a nice slow dance the way you did when you first Shirley Murdock! Her guests singers sound as beautifuly as she, and the muscians, particuarly those on the African influenced songs, make this cd just come alive. Not everyone can cover a Billie Holiday song this well. Gettng the chance to hear her sing it in English only further solidified the opinion I had begun to devlop about this singer while listening to the other songs. Simply put, this is one of the best new voices I have heard in a long time. In English, this would easily be a chart topper in the U.S.! And if our radio stations were more open to playing international music, it very well might be a hit even without translation! Good job to everyone who worked on this project! I will be spreading the word about this woman! Now, to find an English translation of the lyrics!

5 out of 5 stars JOY.......2003-06-01

    5 out of 5 stars One bite & you are hooked.......2003-11-03

    I just listened to this cd from my local shop & from the 1st track I couldn't get enough of this music.It's filled with a jazzy piano, soulful African guitar sound, balafon, Malian drums,etc. It's beautiful but the marketing is on Mamani keita's voice, i haven't heard an African voice in a jazzy set up like this cd.Her vocals keep that traditional feel & blend so well with the morden instruments.The cd may be too "morden" for some people who prefer the traditional instruments only but the truth is this cd is unbeivable good with morden & traditional instruments.The percussion also may be too much for the music itself but that is a cherry on cream esp. for rock fans.This cd is dynamic and will take you by surprise in a way U never expected.Also recommended is Soukuba Bambino-Kasse cd.The previous reviewer has said enough & i won't say more.

    4 out of 5 stars Skillful mix of African and European pop styles.......2003-05-17

    A canny world-beat interweaving of West African pop and jazz-tinged, tres, tres Euro electronica. Keita's high, keening vocals -- pure Mali -- cut through the tightly-wound, somewhat fastidious arrangements in a manner that makes the whole project mesh together better than one might imagine. This album is very much a creature of programming-heavy modern studio production, but it has a certain soulfulness and innovative breadth that makes it sound original and appealing. I find it a little too slick, yet also an album that wins me over the more I listen to it... worth checking out!
