What World Music Are You Listening To?

[joel_hifi]

I have been searching in the Music forum if any thread was started on the World Music genre but didn't find one, so please excuse me if it's been covered before!

Being a fairly wide category spanning from indigenous, ethnic, folk to crossover with classical, jazz and other genres... some albums may have already been posted in the many excellent music threads on this forum, no intention to hijack but just to see if there could be an interest to share some good music from around the World under this new thread...

What do you think?

Here are some classic albums and some more recent releases that I enjoy...
