Special 2-CD set!

World music has experienced an unprecedented rise in popularity during the past 20 years — from Cuban, to Asian, to Celtic, our musical boundaries have broadened to encompass diverse styles and instrumentation from around the globe. It expands the imagination and sparks cultural understanding.

Narada has embraced world music with an exciting roster of musicians including Juno Award winners Jesse Cook and Oscar Lopez, 2002 Grammy nominee Jai Uttal, BBC3 Award for World Music nominees Lila Downs and Kasse Mady Diabate, Mercury Prize nominee Susheela Raman, Grammy winner Flora Purim, and many others.

A specially-priced 2-CD set, BEST OF NARADA WORLD is the definitive collection featuring Narada’s artists who are creating music inspired by the world’s diverse cultures.

Music has always been a vehicle for communication, transcending both language and geography. Throughout the centuries, it has been a conduit for the exchange of ideas and culture among different peoples along the fabled Silk Road, and during the Golden Age of Spain when Christian, Arab, and Jewish musicians fruitfully collaborated in the Moorish courts. The same is happening today. What is unique now is that never before have we witnessed a marriage of musical styles on such an immense scale. With astonishing ease, musicians from the furthest reaches of the globe can easily collaborate, and in doing so share and perpetuate musical traditions.

The selections on BEST OF NARADA WORLD are a perfect testimony to these cultural marriages. Ranging from South and Central America, to Africa, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia, the artists fall into two categories: those who keep the musical traditions of their native land alive with a refreshing vitality and contemporary approach, and those whose work is a fusion of various genres and traditions, synthesized into their own unique progressive sound.
