Rather splendid 3 CD set compiled by Phil Meadley. CD1 is Legends and features 12 tracks from artists including Lili Boniche, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Dahmane El Harrachi and my stand out track by Oum Kalsoum. CD2 is Rebels so we get Khaled, Cheb Mami amongst 11 tracks with my pick here going to Rasto and a deep mix of rai & reggae. CD3 is Pop & Beyond and includes tracks from Hanino, Kadim Al Sahir and Azzddine with the mighty Bill Laswell. Great collection.

Thanks for uploading the music. Much better than I was expecting. I figured there'd be a few gems amidst all the usual dull dance club music that's usually uploaded. But this is really good. Not easy to get some of this music in the US.
