Latest World Dance Fusion Top 10

topic posted Thu, March 25, 2004 - 4:13 AM by 
1. Om Namah Shivaya - Apache Indian (An Indo-Jamaican fusion classic gets re-released)

2. Walk Like An Egyptian - Hakim feat. Cleopatra (This 80s Bangles classic returns to its Egyptian roots by way of Ireland)

3. Carolina - Bucovina Club vs Taraf de Haidouks (The Balkan Gipsy troubadours get remixed, and end up sounding Shaggy-esque)

4. Seul A Seul - Nayanka Bell feat. Passi (Sweet, sexy zouk music from this year's must-have Afro-French-Caribbean compilation: Dis L'Heure 2 Zouk. A hit on Valentine's Day)

5. Gia (said mrad remix) - Despina Vandi (This sleeper hit from the longtime Greek pop diva was a hit in Ibiza last year, but the real gem is this remix by Lebanese DJ Said Mrad who turned it into an Arabesque house number complete with a stunning drop seconds into the song, guaranteed to give goosebumps!)

6. Madan (martin solveig's exotic disco mix) - Salif Keita (The lead track from Salif's Moffou album, his best in years, gets a clubland remix from France's current hottest DJ. Also watch for the Moffou Remix Album, out now in Europe and coming to the US in April)

7. Aisa Jadoo - Sunidhi Chauhan (The current Bollywood dancefloor hit and the most played song in Bombay discos, 'nuff said)

8. Marsoul Il Hob - Hasna (Bhangra meets Arabic house, produced by Said Mrad from this up and coming Lebanese vocaliste)

9. Nutridinha (kerri chandler remix) - Cesaria Evora (The Cape Verdian diva has never sounded this good to an Afro-house beat with Luzo-African mandolins in the background, awesome!!!)

10. Camina Y Ven - David Bisbal (Spanish pop sensation goes back to his flamenco roots; Ricky Martin ain't got nothin on this guy!)

      In order of the tracks on the list, here's a list of the source compilations, their record labels, websites, major US retailers, and a personal rating based on 1-5 stars!

      1. World Reggae www.putumayo.com (5-star. Any US retailer with a world music section should carry this release out on a major world music label)

      2. Desert Roses vol. 3 www.ark21.com (4-star. Available at your favorite world music store)

      3. Electric Gypsyland www.sixdegreesrecords.com (3-star. US release on April 6. Check w/your fave rec store)

      4. Dis L'Heure 2 Zouk (5-star. Tower.com has apparently sold out their stock, so your best bet would be Amazon.com)

      5. Chill Out In Paris vol.3 www.saidmrad.com (3-star. The only US release sadly is on this compilation)

      6. Africanism vo. II www.martinsolveig.com (4-star. Afro-house mixed compilation. US release on March 30. Check under dance/electronica @ your fave retailer. The Salif Keita Moffou Remix album itself, out in the US on April 6, is more on a downtempo vein and does NOT contain the Martin Solveig remix)

      7. From the Bollywood soundtrack www.khakeethemovie.com (3-star. Check with an Indian specialty retailer for soundtrack album or compilation cd)

      8. Hasna (4-star. Borders Music should have this artist on their database. Its her eponymous release)

      9. Club Sodade Remixes/Cesaria Evora (5-star. Everybody should carry this one!)

      10. Buleria/David Bisbal (3-star. Check w/your fave music store under Spanish)

      Happy listenin (and dancin!)

      Club Sodade & Electric Gypsyland are quite delightful!!
      Another compilation to check is Nu Europe which just came out 6/1/04. It features artists like Ojos De Brujo, Kristi Stassinopoulou (sp?),Boban Markovic, Manu Chao, Warsaw Village Band and others I've never heard of but are really good.

        Nu Europe is one of the latest in a string of brilliant releases from UK-based Manteca Records/Union Square Music. I would also recommend the Warsaw Village Band's People's Spring album. This is a truly genre-defying collection that brings these amazing talents into the world music/worldbeat fold. As you can see from my posts, I have more of a tendency towards world electronica, but these acoustic musicians blew my mind (plus the cd also contains a couple of surprising and delightful remixes!).

          Yep, I just picked up the Nu Tango as well. It's interesting too that labels like Narada, Harmonia Mundi and higher octive are now starting to shift their focus over to the world music genre. I just discovered Manteca and Piranha Music as well so I'm still a newbie with these two labels. P.S. there's nothing wrong with world electronica - it's actually easier to mix!

            I do believe world music, in its various monikers such as worldbeat, world electronica, world traditional, etc., is presently undergoing a resurgence. Even pop/top 40 radio artists like you wouldn't believe are incorporating either Jamaican dancehall vibes or Middle Eastern strings! Which means we should be in for some eclectic and exciting aural experiences in the near future. :)

        Btw, thanx for the headzup on you know which track ;) Can you imagine had they marketed the album under the original title in the UK?!

        Oh, and I also need to correct something in my last post--Fulanito is meren-rap, not meren-hop. I should know, been shaking my culo to their music for ages. Gozadera total!

                Hola merhaba Kashmir! So glad you're enjoying Nitin Sawhney--that Philtre album is the best!!! Amazing fusions and vocalizations, even tho the import price for the cd is on the high side right now (why is nobody Stateside licensing all these amazing albums??) And what about that Daddy Yankee-Deevani duet huh?! Das rite, Mas Flow, Luny Tunes!!

                Speaking of the Mas Flow vol. 2 album, I was listening to the BBC and Bobby & Nihal debuted the new Tigerstyle remix of Wisin Y Yandel's Rakata from the same compilation. Talk about reggaeton with Punjabi flava--I was trying to do the sandunga, but my shoulders started moving, and...uh...uh-ha...oh yeahhh...hariiiipppaaa! LOL

                  Jacques - thanks so much for all the new music. I don't know why more people aren't turned on to all this new world music - I know I can't live without it. Those Luny tunes are taking over! Ohh now you did it - I'm gonna have to get that whole album. I love all the new music mixing with each other - haven't heard any reggeton/banghra yet - but I can only imagine the shimmies I will produce. Go ahead and move those shoulders - it's fusion!!! WEEEEEPAAAA!!!!
