Great Percussion Recordings


I am looking for some great percussion recordings, something that will really challenge a system. Please list the title, artist, and specify LP or CD. Can anyone help me?

This is not a great recording, but it is great percussive playing. "L.H. Correa de Azevedo, Music of Ceara and Minus Gerias". On the Ryco "Endangered Music Project" label. A great history piece on the music of Brazil.
For modern Basque music there is "Kepa Junkera, Bibao" a two CD set on Alula records. These are very good recordings somehwhat on the "hot" side. I would estimate that there are at least 20 different percussive instruments used/played on this album. Another good choice might be the sountrack to "Black Orpheus". I used to listen to this quite a bit on vinyl, but do not have it on CD and perhaps someone can recommend a good version.
