True, but it's a little sad that it seems there's only one label bringing "World Music" to the "West".  Considering how much incredible music is produced out there in the world, and Western labels are still getting away with feeding us crud like Joan Osbourne and Id Guinness?  hmmf.

Even RP, who play a vast amount more 'world' music than most, hasn't tapped into the absolutely beautiful stuff done in China - and no, I'm not talking about that peculiar, squeaky Chinese opera - Chinese orchestral music is often heartbreakingly beautiful.   There are massive regions of the musical world that we never get to visit unless we really stretch.  And as I'm really, really idle, I find that upsetting :D

I am a new RP listener and supporter.  I am amazed at the quality of most of the music that RP plays, most of which I haven't heard; and this song is a delightful part of that.
I want to say too that I have never in my life been able to listen to a single radio station for hours, but that is exactly what I find myself doing with RP!  It is like finding a new and wonderful friend in the world.  I am very pleased to make your acquaintance!

I love it!  Thank you.

An unconscionable waste of petroleum, plain and simple.  

Love the song, though.

I loved the old Paris-Dakar Rally Raid. Especially the heavy trucks. Watching one blast past a Porche 911 or a Peaugeot was grand.

Agreed. Thanks to RadioParadise I have this disc and several other genre/region samplers from Putumayo. They are all fantastic.

It's a shame politics ruined this year's event. Maybe they will be able to move it to South America as rumored, but it just won't be the same.

I thought I was on top of my West African music. Tom Diakite is new to me and very pleasant listening. Thank you for broadening my horizons Bill.
