Wonderful and Diverse!5
I got this CD for my birthday and played it immediately. I was instantly floored by the quality and diversity of the music. I love the fact that Russian, Jamaican, Scottish, and African music (just to mention a few) are all on the same CD. It really lets you recognize the similarities (and differences) of music around the world.

It says in the liner notes that unfortunately Putumayo was not able to include Asian or Latin music on this disc, but if you want to hear that music, buy "Music from the Tea Lands" or "Latin Groove" (this in no way makes "One World" less recommended).

I would have to say that my favorite tracks on this album would be "Ohureo" from Cameroon/UK and "Dalshe" from Russia. "Ohureo" is beautiful, haunting, and melodic. The song just flows so beautifully. "Dalshe" is a little less folk-y. The pumping bass, the awesome melody, and everything in general about this song is excellent.

These are songs you would not, and could not, find anywhere else than this CD. BUY IT NOW AND SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING!!!

Another great title from Putumayo4
Already own Putumayo's children's music CD. This one is also great! Peter Gabriel, Toure Kunda and Toni Childs are especially good, but all the tracks are well produced and filled with energy. Liner notes are exceptional.

Intro to world music4
An energetic sampler of world music. An excellent starting point for anyone interested in international pop music, especially the hybrid sounds of Africa and Europe. This music will get you off of your couch. Any age listener will enjoy these vocalists.
