Product Description
The Rough Guide To The Music Of Sudan is bursting with the diverse and rich music that has emerged from Africa’s largest country, from desert rhythms echoing a camel’s stride to savannah woodland harmonies. This album offers you an overview of a flourishing musical culture – including trance drumming, hip-hop, orchestral music, Arabic love songs and spicy horn sections – and incorporates influences from Egypt to Congo and from the White Nile to the Blue Nile.

A wonderful caravan of music!.......2000-06-22

After receiving the Rough Guide to World Music book as a present, I was anxious to expore their recorded works. Of them all, this is my favorite, a journey from trance music, to the influences by or from the Indian subcontinent. This is a great introduction to the varied styles, with contemporary examples. As the Rough Guide cd's are somewhat ecclectic in their variety, this is either a great place to start your journey in this music, or a excellent way to expand your tastes. You may not like everything on the cd, at least at first, but it will open a whole new world.

Wonderful caravan of music.......2000-06-21

After a Christmas present of the Rough Guide to World Music book, I was impressed with their printed product. The cd is equally impresssive, as it takes you on a great caravan of North Africa, with a survey encompassing the mystic drone of Morocco and Algeria, to the Indian type music. A great survey, easy to lose yourself in, if this type of music is for you. If you are not familiar with this music, try this cd. You may not like everything, as the Rough Guide thankfully does not play things safe, and can put together an ecclectic, and admirable, cd.
