This is a classic piece of music history. Blew up the planet: in the Euro-American world, before this album, ‘World Music’ meant Afro-Cuban and Reggae. This is the flashpoint for WOMAD’s ‘World of Music and Dance’ and in so many ways the Origin of what ‘World Music’ has come to be since then. Absolutely manifests the phrase “all killer no filler”, even (20 years later) the hardest track ‘The Ritual Mask’… but before you go there, check out Shankar, Czukay, Pengosekan, etc… just a fantastic collection of amazing music.
