International Sounds from 2009
I thought it would be fun to take a listen back to some of my favorite music from the Free Music Archive's "world music" library. I'm hesitant to use term "world music" since 98.6% of the audio on the Free Music Archive comes from this world, and we have curators, musicians and listeners from over 200 nations. But I do feel it is important for site visitors be able to find music you're looking for browsing by genre. We try to use the International genre classification for music that incorporates indigenous folk traditions, which aren't necessarily part of the american/british folk, blues, or Western classical traditions.

My ear often bends towards artists who build off of their traditional influences to create something entirely new. Like Argentina's Hijo De La Cumbia, who released his debut album, Cumbia de los Barrios, on DJ /rupture's Soot label. The mix also features Vieux Farka Touré, son of the great Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré. Six Degrees Records offered this track off of the new album Fafa, and writes: "Ali Farka Touré proved – in case anyone ever doubted it – that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. His son Vieux is turning heads with a more radical idea: that those western Saharan roots can be heard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub." -- well put!Vieux Farka Touré is one of many amazing musicians from around the world to have also performed on KEXP in Seattle, where many selections from this mix were recorded. Check out Jon Kertzer's radio program for more, especially if you're in search of well-curated African music. A good many of these tracks were first broadcast on WFMU's Transpacific Sound Paradise. For those in the NYC area (or ever planning to head this way), host Rob Weisberg keeps a fantastic list of upcoming World music events, as well as local restaurants, all linked from the TSP headquarters (also the source of the fantastic image used for this mix). |
The recording of Djara -- New York's premier Haitian rara group -- comes from one of Transpacific Sound Paradise's remote broadcasts from Barbés, a fantastic venue (and record label!) in Brooklyn.
The Orkestra Keyif and Zlatne Uste track was part of WFMU's coverage of the 2009 Golden Festival, a grassroots Eastern European music and dance festival organized by NY Balkan music pioneers the Zlatne Usted Brass Band. The 2010 event is slated for Jan 15 & 16 -- more info here.
This mix concludes with an emersive raga, part of an on-air preview of the annual NYC Indian Classical all-night festival this past May.
And although it's not featured on this 2009-oriented mix, Excavated Shellac is an amazing resource for impossible-to-find international 78rpm recordings. Joe McGasko recently picked out some of his favorite shellac excavations take a listen here.
