Piano Jondo - Diego Amador
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-amador07)
Flamenco piano? He calls it 'deep piano' and he pulls off the unlikely approach with passion and flair, giving a literal interpretation of the style, whether over-dubbed on several instruments or accompanied by Miguel Vargas on double bass, Luis Amador on percussion and Joaquín Grilo tapping and hand-clapping. Interesting, to say the least.

Arcadia - Shirai
$17.99

Shirai's music blends the sounds produced by quartz crystal 'singing' bowls and didgeridoos with human voices, violins, percussion, keyboards, native flute, Tibetan bowls and gongs. The extemporaneous voices of the singers, traveling on the vibrational wave of the quartz instruments evokes a non-denominational spiritual atmosphere of resonating landscapes full of complex aural harmonics. New age but not newage.

Negro Color - Tania Libertad
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-libertad04)
Libertad again pays homage to her Afro-Peruvian roots, but the arrangements for the album are more delicate and less dance oriented than previousr projects devoted to this repertoire. Libertad is at her most compelling on thoughtful and contemplative tracks like 'Dos gardenias,' where her voice floats angelically above a sparse piano accompaniment. Not limiting herself to music of her homeland, Libertad also includes a powerful rendition of Brazilian composer Chico Buarque's 'Funeral of a Farm Worker.' Libertad's shimmering voice rules thsi recording- clear, intense and always beautiful.

Heritage - Mamadou Diabate
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-mdiabate06)

The band includes balafonist Bala Kouyaté, Baye Kouyaté on calabash and talking drum, American jazz musician Noah Jarrett on bass, with a special guest cameo from the Guinean guitarist Djikorya Mory Kante. Mande music is usually centered around a singer, this all instrumental recording is unusal, This music is not typically accompanied by calabash or talking drum, so the percussive aspect of the group is also innovative. But the deepest innovation comes in the compositions and arrangements themselves.

(cdRoots# hm-rossell06)
Catalan singer Rossell is dedicated to reviving the musical traditions of Catalunya that were suppressed during the years of Franco.

Re-covers - Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha
$17.99
(cdRoots# wp-recovers)
OK, it had to happen, and Tuvan singer, electric guitarist and experimentalist Kuvezin is certainly the one to do it: Tuvan rooted recovers of pop and country 'hits' (although some here fall into the category of minor). So Led Zepellin's "When The Levee Breaks" gets an acid-rock throat-singing treatment to entrancing if somewhat unsettling results side by side with music from Kratfwerk, Motorhead, Hank Williams, Iron Butterfly, Paul Mauriat, Captain Beefheart ("Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles" is one of the gems of the set!), Joy Division and a few Central Asian hit-makers as well. Irresistible fun, and occasioanlly brilliant. (This is the 2006 US release)

With pounding flamenco footsteps over thunderign guitars, Son de la Frontera's music is balanced between genres even while breaking them down.

Merging with the Brook - Sui Vesan
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-vesan)
Suí Vesan has been compared to many pop stars, from Bjorke to kate Bush, with asides to Iva Bittova and other contemporary divas of eastern Europe. But this Slovak singer is really her own creature, capable of a powerful shriek or a wounded wimper, convincing in both modes. Accompanied by a spare ensemble of guitar, flute, kalimba (African thumb piano) and percussion, she has been hailed by Europe's 'world music' literati, and now the CD is finally available for all the world to hear.

Mul Sheshe - Fantazia
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-fantazia)
fRoots says: 'A bi-cultural nine-piece mix of musicians from both the UK and the London-based Algerian diaspora... Add the very welcome top layer of dark chocolatey vocals from Mourad Simba who joined the band in 2002, and you end up with the rich, satisfying texture of their current sound. Fuelled by a base of Maghrebi musical traditions - and with multi-cultural guest performers aplenty - the classy, jazzy brass of Rachel Bartlett on saxes and Bellowhead's Andy Mellon on trumpet give the album a funky party spirit, but without compromising the rai, cha'abi, Berber and Gnawa roots and rhythms of dazzlingly skilful oud player Yazid Fentazi's compositions and the cracking percussion of Karim Dellali.'
Positivity - Orkestina
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-orkestina05)

Kongo Magni - Boubacar Traore
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-traore05)
Guitarist/singer Boubacar Traoré is one of the 'house favorites' at cdRoots. His dense voice and rugged guitar style contrasts sharply with the rolling lilt of many of his Malian contemporaries. On Kongo Magni, Boubacar’s realistic, if pessimistic, view of life and its problems is finally granted a fragile silver lining. Accompanied by a small combo of accordion and harmonica, kamele ngoni, balafon and percussion, Traoré is again revealed as philosophical, lyrical and resigned - guarded, hopeful and humane.
Sin Papeles (No Papers) - Martires del Compas

Uprooting - Warsaw Village Band
$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-warsaw04)

$17.99
(cdRoots# hm-wv468043)
Classic recordings by Mohammad Reza Shajarian, one of the most revered singers in modern Persian music. Bidad, literally translated, means 'injustice.' It is also the name of the gusheh (fragmentary musical building blocks) upon which this recording is based. This 1984 recording was a turning point in the musical direction of Iran's art music. During the turbulent years immediately before and after the revolution of 1979, the younger generation of musicians devoted much of their work to being a voice for the people, calling for and then celebrating social and political change. Bidad was one of the first albums to successfully bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, proving that Iranian art music could maintain its integrity and remain socially and politically relevant.

Guarda-me a vida na mão - Ana Moura
$16.99
(cdRoots# hm-moura05)
The music we call fado is an old music, unique to Portugal. Part of a long musical tradition, the Lisbon fado is as integral a part of the city’s character and culture as its history, religion and language. Ana Moura is one of the finest of a new generation of wonderful young fadistas (fado singers) that is responsible for the explosive resurgence in popularity of this hauntingly lovely song form, not only in Portugal itself, but throughout Europe, the Americas, even Asia. Ana Moura follows in the tradition of the great singers of earlier generations such as Amalia Rodrigues, but her music is in no sense derivative. She is a serious student of the fado and, while she loves the traditional forms, in Guarda me a vida na mão she has totally made them her own, with superb modern arrangements performed by some of today’s most prominent fado musicians-all very gifted performers in their own right. Moura, whose deep, rich, contralto voice is as radiant as her face, also performs a number of the newer fados.

Bari - Ojos de Brujo
$15.99
(cdRoots# hm-ojos)
From the moment it starts, there's no doubt that this is an album of now. Energetic, assertive and joyful, it does what you want a record to do: it changes the mood and makes life seem full of possibilities. Reaching back to flamenco and rumba, grabbing handfuls of hip hop, dub and modern-sounding drum licks and bass lines (but not drum-and-bass!), the group makes forward-looking music that could definitely have been made only in Spain and probably only in Barcelona.' - Charlie Gillett, BBC
