In their travels, they create txalapartak (the plural form) out of ice, stone and wood, showing the many possibilities of their ancient instrument. In doing so, they form global links of friendship between small and marginalized peoples. Oreka TX meet with and perform with a diverse array of musicians, many with traditions as old and unknowable as that of the txalaparta itself.

López-Nussa fronts a trio comprised of bassist Felipe Cabrera (a member of Gonzalo Rubalcaba's band) and a marvelous drummer, his younger brother Ruy Adrian López-Nussa. This gets my highest recommendation for anyone into jazz or Latin music of any kind. Tierra - Osvaldo Hernandez Napoles - 17.99 Osvaldo Hernandez Napoles is a Mexican musician who has lived in Belgium for more than 20 years.

Barlovento - Sondeseu Orquestra Folk - 16.99 Andrew Cronshaw writes in fRoots: 'Big, strong traditional Galician tunes played and sung with fullblooded gusto by the Vigo folk orchestra, Galicia's first such ensemble, in mighty rich, tune-enhancing arrangements, mostly by ex-Milladoiro Rodrigo Romaní with a couple by Berrogüetto's Anxo Pintos, that really communicate the variety and alegría that makes this music so attractive and involving. One might think that with such a big band – from a count of the booklet photos five gaiteiros, thirteen pandeireteiras (female singer/tambourinists), seven fiddlers, seven harpists, seven hurdy-gurdyists, three flautists, four percussionists on pandeiros, pandeiretas, caixa and bombo, plus on one track guest vocalist Rosa Cedrón – things would get mushy and muddled, but they don't; it's beautifully put together, a jubilant, refreshing, singing, dancing, enlarged version of the thrill of a trio de gaitas or spirited bunch of pandeireteiras.'

Simbiose - Ialma - 16.99 The five female vocalists (called 'cantareiras' in Galician) of Ialma are residents of Brussels, but they still keep a vital link with Galicia, their homeland and main source of artistic inspiration. The traditional sound characteristic of the 'cantareiras' merges with more modern songs, melodies and arrangements, resulting in fresh and lively songs which intelligently move between pop and the tradition. Meu Canto - Uxia - 16.99 Galician singer Uxía is deeply rooted in her native Galicia, but she always ventures out into the world for inspiration.

They sing their own compositions as well as traditional Norwegian material arranged in their own way. Eplemøya Songlag has power and energy. They mix humor, experimental improvisation and storytelling. Their sound is sometimes powerful; sometimes whispering and wondering. Tradition meets innovation. Further Definitions of the Days of Awe - David Chevan and the Afro-Semitic Experience - 11.99 "Never before have I heard this lyrically powerful a fusion of Jewish and jazz souls on fire.” So says Nat Hentoff and I can't agree more. For most of the past decade the Afro-Semitic Experience has played the midnight Selichot service with Cantor Jack Mendelson at his synagogue in White Plains, NY. Theey have, in the process, created a new way to accompany cantorial music and they document it in this rousing recording of three concerts in August, 2010 just before the High Holy Days, one in New York City, one in New Haven, Connecticut, and one in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

Flamenco Entre Amigos - Miguel Iven - 14.99 The flamenco guitarist is joined by guest musicians who help him explore the possibilities: Percusion, palmas, violin, altosax, castañuelas, viola cello and voices The guitar still remains the hub and physical centre of the compositions. The guest musicians - first and foremost Conny Sommer with his keen sense for delicate and pushing rhythms - blend in harmoniously. Iven's strength is to pull simplicity from the complex, his goal being good music, not flash and fire note-hunting, so he manages the balancing act between Flamenco traditions and modern influences. April Blossoms - Rim Banna - 14.99 Songs from Palestine dedicated to all the children is the subtitle of this unique recording by singer Rim Banna. Again joined by a phenomenal group of jazz and popular musicians from Norway and the middle east - and on some tracks a small chorus of children from both countries - she forges a powerful contemporary music focused on the trials and joys of live in Palestine.

The seven piece band and dancer are the leading a new wave of young performers that are re-inventing southern Italy's pizzica traditions for a modern audience, not by fusing it into a familiar dance beat, but by makig the old rhythms and melodies explode with contemporary energy for a new audience. Elegie berbere - Ganson - 16.99 Elégie Berbère is a fusion of two musical cultures, a project born out of the love of the sound of an instrument - the ribab, a single stringed fiddle of the Berbers - and the marriage between it and the soprano saxophone. belgian jazz musician Ludovic Jeanmart met Moroccan ribab player Bouhssine Foulane and immediately formed a musical alliance that is filled ou on this recording by Belgian musicians on guitar, bass, percussion and drums.

He is the former leader of the European Youth Folk Orchestra, and has arranged folk music for choir, and symphony orchestra. MARTIN ERIKSSON (double bass, vocals) from Småland, who, besides playing folk music, is a classical double bass player with the Malmö Opera Orchestra. Carduelis - Amorroma - 15.99 The band says: Carduelis Carduelis... the latin word for a "goldfinch" or "putter" in flemish, a songbird widespread in Europe and the sole vocalist on this disc.... For ages now it has been passing on its song, over the borders, averse to trends and free as... a bird. And although Amorroma's music is new, it contains that same centuries-old inspiration, passed on over the whole of Europe. Norsk Folkemusikk fra NRK's fjernsynarchiv - various DVD - 22.99 DVD presents over 4 hours of audio/video recordings of traditional (very) music from the Norwegian national broadcasting archives. The recordings go from the 1940s into the 1990s and offer a rare look at the traditional singers, at home, palying and singing the old tunes and songs. Sigil - Nuru Kane - 16.99 This is world music: Senegalese musician moves to Paris, but instead of going to the western pop route, he discovers the gnawa of north Africa, travels, learns, and comes back to Paris to make a unique and enthralling acoustic roots music. Highly reccommended! Lysblain - Einar Olav Larsen Trio - 18.99 A Norwegian repertoire based on elegant fiddling and restrained piano with acoustic bass. Einar Olav Larsen, Fiddle; Daniel Trostrup Røssing, Piano; Audun Larsen, Accustic Bass Rozz - Milann and Laloy - 17.99 The Belgian accordion and guitar duo forms a quartet with Thierry Rombaux (bass) and Didier Fontaine (drums) and pushes into rock territory on this 2011 release.

Roqueforte - Aranis - 16.99 The basic Aranis line-up is enriched with percussion. This gives the music a rough edge, but also adds a certain sens of beauty to it all. Dark melodies exchange with threatening rythms, raw solo pieces contrast with complex improvisations. With guest musicians David Kerman (percussion), Stefan Wellens (viola) and Pierre Chevalier (piano). For people who love classical, jazz, folk, world, film and rockmusic and everything in between, this ensemble offers adventure and confusion. Julero - Pust - 18.99 Music for the winter and Christmas by a fine sensemble of Norwegian singers: Anne Hilde Grøv (soprano), Jorunn Lovise Husan (mezzo), Elisabeth Anvik (alto) Jostein Hasselgård (tenor), Håvard Gravdal (baritone) and Mads Iversen (bass). Pust means "breathe" in Norwegian, and there is a fresh breath of beauty in this recording. Listen Juusk - Inga Juuso, Harald Skullerud - 18.99 Joik singing from Sami vocalist Juuso is given a somewhat contemporary yet still thoughoughly ancient feel by the innovative percussion of Skullerud (who also produced the recording). Beautifully recorded, marvelously performed, this is not the ethno-ambiance of modern artists like Wimme, but rather a true explorarion of the raw roots.. Pa Gyllen Grunn - Anita Skorgan - temp out of stock-18.99 På Gyllen Grunn (On Golden Ground) - produced with great care and understanding by Erik Hillestad, recorded in a mausoleum at Slemdal, Oslo - is a remarkable new journey into traditional Norwegian folk music by former pop-singer Skorgan, at once primitive and avant garde, an experiment worthy of a great cast of musicians including Arve Henriksen (trumpet), Rolf Lislevand (lute, baroque guitar and theorbe), Eivind Aarseth (electric guitar) and Helge Norbakken (percussion). Highly Recommended.

ABDC - A Banda Das Crechas - 16.99 Andrew Cronshaw writes in fRoots: 'For decades A Casa das Crechas at Via Sacra 3 in Santiago de Compostela has been the best known session-bar in Galicia's folk music revival, the most likely place to run into and play with musicians from Spain's green north-west and sometimes from abroad. On May 31st 2009 a bunch of those who were around of its long-time and more occasional denizens, some widely-known, some not, gathered there to record the music they like and has united them over the years. Played and sung with a nice balance of democratic directedness of arrangement and non-studio informality and on a shifting cast of instruments including fiddle, gaita, flutes, sax, accordion, guitar, banjolin and the exuberant rattle-patter of pandeireta, the material is mostly Galician – xota, muiñeira, pasodoble, marcha procesional, rumba, and songs including a spirited Meu Cabaliño and the Cuban-emigration song Unha Noite Na Eira Do Trigo - but also includes tunes that have drifted in from the rest of the European folk revival, from Sweden, Ireland and the Balkans, learnt from the likes of Väsen, JPP and Andy Irvine, and been enwrapped in a Galician embrace.' Raianas - Malvela - 16.99 Malvela is a multi-generational female group. Their ages range from 86 years old, of Señora Carmen, to 32, of Rachel Dominguez. Despite their differences in age, women are united by their desire to revive the old songs of the Raia (Galician border between Spain and Portugal). With this album, Malvela conveys the same force and festive atmosphere of their live shows. Raianas works to highlight the shared historical and linguistic identity of the two banks of the Minho river: the Galician border and the north of Portugal. Consentimento - Leilia - 16.99 The first cantareiras, the teachers, the feminine force - with pristine voices mixed contemporary music, comes a unique sound with musical production and attention for details. More than 20 years working for the recovery of our musical tradition. ConSentimento is a tribute to all that women who made and continue to make creation the reality through preservation and transmission of the Galician oral tradition. With many thanks to Eva Castiñeiras, a singer, pandereteira, and a woman like so many anonymous women who seed our land with art, culture and beauty. Crabinsky (CD and DVD) - Banda Crebinsky - 17.99 The Crebinsky Band is defined as a "small folk orchestra emerged from an imaginary universe." The Crebinsky Band is a group of musicians from folk, jazz, rock and experimental or classical music. Thus, these musicians compose a diverse melting pot of sounds, garnished with lyrics in Galician, Russian, Castilian, French and Italian. The group consists of eight players led by the composer Pablo Perez and the vocalist from Belarus, Vadim Yukhnevich. Their music is also featured on the DVD of a Galician film called Crebinsky. Terra de Sonos (CD and DVD) - Fuxan os Ventos - 17.99 Nearly two decades after the group gave its last performance, they gave the Galician public the opportunity to enjoy the highly anticipated return of Fuxan Ventos on stage and in this recording (a CD and a DVD film) from two concerts in Santiago de Compostela on 18 and October 19, 2008, and then after in cities around Galicia). Guests include a who's who of Galician music: Xabier Díaz, Guadi Galego, Uxía, Mercedes Peon, Ferreirós Pepe, Rodrigo Nova Roma and Galega de Danza, backed by a band led by Xosé Lois Romero, the architect of the instrumental arrangements for this project in that band includes such prominent musicians as Guillen Fernandez, Benxamín Otero, Roi Adrio, Simon Garcia and Saiva Nova String Quartet. Bonovo - bOnOvO - 16.99 bOnOvO is often considered the new sound of Galicia as a result of this trio of top musicians´ search for new routes. The long musical jopurney of its three members merge their very personal style of acoustic music with avant-garde music technologies - tradition with new touches. Listen Jol i mi song - Sondre Bratland - 18.99 2011 release of Christmas and other music from the tradition, performed by one of Norway's greatest singers. Simple, acoustic arrangements played by an excellent ensemble: Tore Bruvoll on guitar, banjo and mandolin, Sigbjørn Apeland on harmonium and piano and Nils Økland on fiddle. Highly recommended. Listen Never On A Sunday - Ragnhild Furebotten - 18.99 In this solo project, the Norwegian fiddler joins together traditional music for fiddle with an ensemble of horn players in arrangements by two of the country's top jazzmen. Strong melodies and folk music create a combination of light madness, north Norwegian esprit and delicious Nordic melancholy. Hirondelles - Geneviève Laloy - 16.99 Both in winter and summer colors, going upstream or landing on a desert island, the lyrics, the notes and the crotchet rests are those countless swallows, passing by unnoticed but never to be forgotten, braving thunderstorms and distances, leaving and coming back, their wings laden with foreign scents. Enchantment, warmth, energy, imagination, generosity, childhood spirit, feelings, poetry... Hirondelles ("Swallows") is a mixture of songs, which comes down through the seasons without mentioning them, dealing with life, death, travel, quest, enthusiasm, now in winter colours, now in summer colours. Hirondelles urges on to flying away, everybody choosing their own way. Calligraphie - Cardamome - 16.99 A Cardamome performance is a musical journey that awakens in us images, stories and emotions. Cardamome is the balanced sound of a 'classical' trio for the benefit of another music. It combines ingredients from jazz, classical music and world music in order to create a personal universe that speaks to each and every one of us.A universe where the imaginary takes wing. ici maintenant la pouf! - Turdus Philomenos - 16.99 The record label says: This happy and sonorous bunch of crazy musicians is back with a new musical banquet as only they can provide. A varied menu of sweet and spicy flavours, served on multicoloured cloths. A delicacy to enjoy as a cure for moroseness. A festive and spontaneous music which dawdles without dilly-dallying, which slips whithout falling, which jumps and bounces as it rises up into more solemn spheres. A music where one will find buzzing instruments, funny melodies and singing musicians. A good old Belgian compromise between rural funk and little swing, nontraditionnal folk music and questionable klezmer, field reggae and gooses' ragga... In short, a music which beats around the bush to go straight to the heart, the body, and everything else. Listen Eisherz - Deux accords diront - 16.99 It's been ten years since the foundation of deux accords diront, 10 years that Anne Niepold and Aline Pohl have been creating their universe. Their motto? Adventure! Not trad, nor jazz, nor classical, nor world but a mix of all and none that creates a genuine and funny performance - fascinating, surprising, spontaneous, free. Eisherz (heart of ice) tells the story of the heart through the music: its beats, its palpitations, its arhythmias, crises and arrests - its restarts, its humors - some dark, some light - its 'take heart!' 13, chemin des mandarines - Klezmic Zirkus - 16.99 At 13, Chemin des Mandarines, a poetic song crosses the nearby rue des Pierres. One can hear in the far, the frantic brass of a freylach, the eclectic sounds of Montreal, some ritornellos with their memories still full of eastern Europe. A journey in Klezmic Zirkus 's contrasted world. Here or there. Yesterday or today. Eyes half shut or wide open. It doesn't matter, the intensity does. As years have been passing by, Klezmic Zirkus (Aurélie Charneux : clarinets and compositions, Julien de Borman : accordion, Adrien Lambinet : trombone, Pierre Greco : double-bass and guitar, Wouter Roggemans : drums) has created its own idiom, which has patiently matured during some 150 public performances. Klezmic Zirkus finds its identity between tradition and modernity, structure and improvisation. Its unbridled rythms apeal to the body, its soulfull melodies to the heart, its sometimes elaborated structures to the mind. It's musicians' sincerity and synergy are delightful to see over and over. Listen Hour of the Wolf - Aurelia - 16.99 The hour of the wolf is the hour just before dawn. It is the hour where most people die, when sleep is deepest and where dreams and nightmares are most real. In creating their third CD, Aurelia went in search for this state of mind whereby these underlying currents of emotions were used to outline their compositions and arrangements. This resulted in an introspective but very caleidoscopic palette of compositions and acoustic sounds. Besides their usual lineup (violin, acoustic guitar and percussion), you can also distinguish the sitar, banjo, harmonium, piano and ethnical vocal sounds. The All Weathers Country - Turlu Tursu - 16.99 On this third album, Turlu Tursu doesn't play anymore arranged traditional tunes, but proposes a repertoire made of highly groovy compositions. To go on with their very personal sound, this trio kept in mind the various traditions of accordion from all over the world (from the Brazilian Forro to the Italian tarantella, through oriental modes, Swedish music, and many more). If the themes played by Fabian on accordion remind us the tradition of this instrument, his choruses make anyone thinks to electric guitar or Hammond organ. Nicolas' bass is filled with astonishing melodies, and Etienne's way of playing drums is very emotional, although incredibly powerful. The Indian bamboo flute played by Fabian took a very important place in this new repertory. An dynamic album with a profusion of ideas, true to the reputation that the trio built in its concerts. Listen Chansons pour la fin d'un jour - Guletkin, Vandenabeele, etc… - 16.99 Dreams through amazing stories of central Anatolia to the Brussels baths, evoked by the singing of the duduk, the clarity of the violin, the harmony of the saz and the subtle play of the double bass. Composed like the second chapter of the album 'Chansons sans paroles' (nominated by Belgian Klara Radio Music Awards 2007), this new album was born from memories of journeys to the heart of Eastern Europe bringing together two ambassadors of Turkish music, Emre Gültekin playing the saz a long-necked Ottoman lute and Ertan Tekin playing the duduk an ancient armenian wind instrument with double reed, and a virtuoso violinist Wouter Vandenabeele and the excellent double bass of Joris Vanvinckenroye. Accordion Samurai - Accordion Samurai - coming soon Didier Laloy, Bruno Le Tron, Markku Lepistö, David Munnelly, and Riccardo Tesi: five of the world's great squeezebox players. They have all made a huge contribution to advancing the cause of the diatonic accordion, each in their own sphere: trad, folk, liscio, Irish music, jazz, film scores - the list goes on and on. In common with the characters pervading the imaginary universe of the Japanese, these players have succeeded in combining a variety of styles to create a bold and expressive musical experience. Ingeniously melodic, brilliantly tonal, an invitation to savour an intimate atmosphere or relish a session of wild dancing: these musicians with an impressive list of credentials offer us a spectacular and extremely beguiling event. Tusschen de Twee - Oxalys and Els van Laethem - 16.99 The poetry of Guido Gezelle revisited by Dick Van der Harst has new flavours.
