World Acoustic !!
29 Sep 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have listened to several of the Beginner's Guides to World Music, but this stands out by a mile! A great compilation of music by any standard, 3 cd's at this price is a bargain. Some of the more popular world artists here to listen to, very impressive.
