Details:
As world music continues to grow in popularity Manteca is well placed to deliver interesting and well executed album concepts that will appeal to both die hard aficionados and new converts alike. Specifically we are looking at how we can mix music from different countries and periods on albums where the first criteria for inclusion is how good the track is and how well it works with the other tracks included. One such concept has been a collection of female sung tracks from around the world Women Of The World. All female concert tours are increasingly common and we foresee a big market for an album that showcases the increasing number of major female artists establishing themselves around the world. From gospels first superstar Mahalia Jackson to Algerias leading lady Cheika Remitti, from Malis golden voiced Oumou Sangare to Indias Queen of Bollywood Asha Bhosle this is a superlative compilation. Imaginatively compiled and sequenced by Folk Roots writer Jon Lusk this is a very strong album with widespread appeal An essential selection of women singers from around the world Features major artists such as Oumou Sangare, Asha Bhosle, Cheika Remitti and Susana Baca this is a musically diverse and rewarding journey round the world. Selected by regular Folk Roots writer Jon Lusk with comprehensive sleevenotes on each of the artists and tracks featured.
