Title: Excellent Starting Point
Review: A learned but staid selection of songs, only a few will pick you up and carry you away to what you can recognize is indeed another world from your own. Definitely a good purchase, though, if you are looking for an introduction to the vital and amazingly varied sounds of North Africa. A little less emphasis on those artists who are more accessible to western ears, on account of the incorporation of western musical styles and rhythms into their own music, may have made this compilation a bit more desirable; nevertheless, it is enjoyable for what it is, and definitely leaves you with wanting to hear what more North African music has to offer.
