Putamayo - what a fantastic label. And the Putamayo kids CDs are just as good.

One of the things I love about listening to "foreign" (to me) music is the fascination of realizing the magic of language. I recognize that I am listening to sounds that to other people convey sights, smells, textures, meaning and emotion. And that is awe-inspiring to me. Life is good.

One of my favorite things about RP is the exposure to so many different kinds of music that are otherwise almost invisible to us in white America. Keep it up, Bill & Becky! If anything, give us more music from Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East, South America, the islands...OMG, there is such a fabulously rich banquet of music out there!

Yup. I'll second that. Variety and eclecticism are the essential components of RP that keep me listening every day. Vive l'eclecticisme!

Well, I'm sad I just missed this. Still, an 8 from the little I've heard.
