Putumayo Presents-Cover The World By Ulysses56

Putumayo Records Presents: Cover the World 2003 World Music Versions of Classic Pop Hits Rip 192kbs Covers Included. This album offers 12 enlightening cover versions of Western pop tunes, as performed by artists from places like France, Spain, South Africa, Germany, and Mali. It's always instructive to glimpse how one culture's music is perceived by another, whether through a funhouse mirror, from under a microscope, or even face-to-face. The performances gathered here range from misguided (Albert Pla's bizarre Spanish language take on Lou Reed's "Take A Walk On The Wild Side") to hilarious (Fatal Mambo's salsa interpretation of Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime") to a delightful breath of fresh air (Malian girl group Les Go's version of Hall & Oates' "I Can¹t Go For That"). Nenes' earnest Japanese-language rendition of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" is laced with plangent plucked samisens and is somehow extremely touching. Other attempts are less effective, but at least none of them come across as cynical and all are worth a listen. Tracklist: 1. El Lado Mas Bestia de la Vida (Walk on the Wild Side) - Albert Pia 2. Hit the Road Jack - Mo'Horizons 3. Nobel (In The Air Tonight) - Toure Kunda 4. Afrika - Tukuleur 5. People Get Ready - Ladysmith Black Mambazo w/ Phoebe Snow 6.
