Volare! - The Very Best Of The Gipsy Kings»rank: 2850by: Gipsy Kings
: :There's very little doubt that the Gipsy Kings are good at what they do--they've become the brand name in Sevillana, the pop-oriented flamenco style. Since 1989, when the single 'Bamboleo' and their Gipsy Kings album broke through and went gold in the United States, they've found a willing audience in America for their style, which, while flashy, doesn't demand a great deal of the listener, unlike more hardcore versions of flamenco. This double set collects 37 of their biggest tracks, including ... |

Ingénue»rank: 12998by: k.d. lang
: essential recording:The album on which she officially gave up on Nashville and began singing torchy, adult-contemporary pop, lngenue has been referred to by lang as her 'stalker' album for its emphasis on songs about desire and obsession. Despite such onerous implications, the album is a charmer, thanks to lang's sincerity and passion and the smoldering arrangements of songs such as 'Constant Craving,' 'The Mind of Love' and 'Still Thrives This Love.' The album's somewhat dark spirits are tempered by the ... |

Putumayo Presents: Paris»rank: 1572by: Various Artists
: :Very traditional in its sound, chanson was rediscovered and revamped in the late 50s and early 60s before it once again became passé with younger audiences, who embraced rock and pop as the sound of their generation. Now, forty years later, a new school of musicians has given a fresh voice to this vintage sound, creating the nouvelle scène (new scene) that is all the rage in Paris. Putumayo Presents Paris is an introduction to a vibrant group of artists ... |

Youth»rank: 1714by: Matisyahu
: :The thumbnail description of Matisyahu: File under Hasidic Beatbox Reggae. Despite having markings of novelty, it's really nothing of the sort. Fronted by a man named Matisyahu (born Matthew Miller), they are truly a band. Two independently released CDs brought them a rapid and well-deserved ascent, making their signing with a major label a logical step. Youth benefits from a more expansive sound and production by the fantastic Bill Laswell (Golden Palominos, Laurie Anderson, the Last Poets). Matisyahu's singing and the ... |

Super Taranta»rank: 9340by: Gogol Bordello
: :Gogol Bordello has been breaking down musical barriers since 1999 with a supercharged music based on a brutal gypsy two step rhythm that sounds like an Eastern European cousin of ska, augmented by punk, metal, rap, flamenco, roots reggae, ltalian spaghetti western twang, dub, and other sounds generated by gypsies and rebels from across the globe. This is intense transglobal rebel rock, not light headed world fusion pop. lt's about believing that music and art can transform negative energy to ... |
