I love World Music and it's cousin Folk Music.
A short while ago i heard a few pieces of music on Galaxie's World Music on TV that really impressed me, so much so that i now have the whole collection of about 20 cd's.
if anyone is interested, those albums listed below are an excellent introduction to unusual (and striking) music from Ethiopia at the time of Haile Selassie, called The Golden Years of Ethiopian Music:
Ethiopiques - The Very Best Of Ethiopiques-cd1
Ethiopiques - The Very Best Of Ethiopiques-cd2
ETHIOPIQUES - Vol.01 - Golden Years of Ethiopian Music 1969-1975
ETHIOPIQUES - Vol.03 - Golden Years of Modern Ethiopian Music '69-'75
