Oceania

Best CD I’ve Heard this Week



I was perusing the CD racks at my local library and found this gem from 1999. The sleeve explains the music is mix of traditional New Zealand’s Maori and modern technology.

To me it’s a cool mix of chants, world rhythms, and an ambient grove without sounding like circus music at “Cirque du Soleil”.

It’s a really unique mix of old and new; makes me think of last week’s discovery Ruben Blades’ “Mundo” – Really hypnotic and unafraid.

Check out a sample here.
