Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

(cdRoots# boa-berro06)
In the long-awaited return of this superb Galician band, Berrogüetto celebrates their 10th year (2006) with a recording of 10 all new works. As always, it's different from the previous recordings. Less experimental than Hepta, more sparse than Viaxe por Urticaria, this offers a lot of spare acoustic sounds, although the lush sound of previous recordings does still appear here and there on 10.0. Excellent as always, this band comes recommended by the proprietor.

(cdRoots# boa-flamwomen)
I normally eschew anything like this: a compilation, with a catchy, coffeshop feindly phrase (Something Women, Flamenco Somthing, etc etc) but this collection is different in that it is not about flavor of the month, but rather a real look at the essential roots of the music.
