You favourite

I am becoming increasingly interested in music from different parts of the world. I listened to 'Baro' by Habib Koite from Mali on the Putumayo Label. The music is described as ambient, gentle, soothing, rhythmical, acoustic, and soulful and I couldnt agree more. Unique vocals too. I have quite a few albums from Putumayo, and enjoy them greatly.

What artists do you enjoy, and where are they from? What would you recommend trying?

One favorite? My favorites change all the time...

Currently, I'm enjoying a CD by a Japanese musician improvising on a 17-string bass Koto. It's called Seventeen, by Michiyo Yagi, The tunes are accessible, involving, and resonate unusual frequencies and timbres on my system. Tough to find, but a gem for the ears!
