The constantly developing realm of world music deserves an in-depth chronicle, and the ROUGH GUIDE TO WORLD MUSIC VOLUME 1, a vastly expanded compendium of musicians, styles, and sources, is the series' most detailed and authoritative handbook to date. Covering music from Albania, whose Vajze te betuar, "women who live as men for reasons of conviction," were originally the only females allowed to perform traditional folk songs, to Zimbabwe, where chimurenga music as performed by Thomas Mapfumo was instrumental in the country's 1970s war of liberation, the GUIDE expertly recounts the origins and cultural import of hundreds of widely differing musical offshoots. With interviews with significant performers from every region covered, over 100 experts contribute perceptive and knowledgeable commentary, including essential information on where to start in any exploration of the artists mentioned and a variety of relevant discographies. A gateway to a multicultural world of discovery, WORLD MUSIC VOLUME 1's user-friendly format and down-to-earth writing make it an ideal introduction to the music of these varied and fascinating cultures.
