World Groove offers plenty of take-no-prisoners mixes. Turkish star Mustafa Sandal's "Aya Benzer" gets a chunky R&B remix from DJ Royal Gardens while Algerian raï superstar Cheb Mami goes urban on "Parisien du Nord." Pick hit: Belgian-Congolese girl-band Zap Mama seemingly channeling Eartha Kitt over a not-terribly-ladylike drum n' bass undertow on "Miss.Q.In." --Christina Roden

All Music Guide
Given the incredible beats and dance music this disc ranks highly among world dance releases for the year.

Customer Reviews

The most relaxing/upbeat mix out there...
I must say, I first listened to this album because the cover looked interesting, and good thing. It drew me right in. I listened to the first song....great, lazy music with relaxing beats, good for nodding your head to. But the suprizing thing was, nearly evey track after #1 was good too. I highly suggest this for anyone looking for something new and fresh.

hip stuff
nice and smooth groove for late night rendezvous experience... has good continuity... nothing stands out -- not earthshaking -- but definitely fills a worthwhile niche...

Dancing around the world
"World Groove" is a delicious compilation of sexy dance music from around the world. It's a perfect companion to the chill-out of "World Lounge." It gets anyone jazzed up for the dance floor. As usual, Putumayo picks a fascinating collection of artists.

"World Groove" has the Germanic easy listening of 2raumwohnung (lest one think of that as a contradiction in terms) There's the Turkish groove of Mustafa Sandal (check out Putumayo's "Turkish Groove" for more) Malian artist Issa Bagayogo blends ancient African sounds with modernity. Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama brings Arabic music with a beat. There's refreshing,social conscious hip-hop from Algeria's Cheb Mami and K-Mel in the "Parisien du Nord" remix. The Belgian/Congolese singer Zap Mama is another Aretha Franklin with an electric beat. Since it's an enhanced CD,there's a music video from the Egyptian Hisham Abbas.

"World Groove" gets you dancing around the globe!
