Music is cup that holds the wine of silence and the musician holds the cup.

We are loving, singing, dancing, eating, working, praying, living and dying. Its hard enough without doing it on purpose. Start the living.

The Nonesuch Explorer series was so pioneering (I think it was launched in the 1960s/70s). (http://www.nonesuch.com/albums/music-from-the-nonesuch-explorer-series-africa)

They are not at all what you could call 'authentic' examples, but much of Dead can Dance is a wonderful fusion of influences from all around the world.

ETA: Thank you so much for this OP :)

'Rakim' probably, I also like 'How Fortunate the Man with None" and "Saltarello". I was lucky enough to see them live early this year and it was an amazing experience.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
