"Ethiopiques, Vol. 1: Golden Years of Modern Music" (02/03/1998) International Various Artists, Buda RecordsThis first volume of the Ethiopiques series just begins to show the scope of the golden age of Ethiopian music, loving assembled, remastered, and annotated. What's obvious is the influence of American soul and blues, the former quite apparent in the Memphis groove of Muluquen Mellese's "Wetetie Mare," with its smoking bassline. Mellese himself has a very androgynous voice, unlike Mahmoud Ahmed, one of the major early Ethiopian stars, whose 1975 tracks sound like Arthur Conley singing in Aramaic, with "Yeqer Memekatesh" a true undiscovered soul classic. The three instrumental pieces that punctuate the disc have a wonderful smoky sound, like late-night jazz played by Booker T. and the MGs. The 1969 cuts from Teshone Meteku could only have come from that decade, with "Yezemed Yebaed" eerily reminiscent of "Black Magic Woman" in everything but its guitar work. But the most revolutionary pieces are from Getatchew Kassa, whose reinterpretations of the revered traditional "Tezeta," in both slow and fast versions, go utterly against history, making the piece relevant for the young -- which, after all, is what rock, hip-hop, and every other movement have done. ~ Chris Nickson

"Live at Stubb's [Digipak]" (08/23/2005) International Matisyahu, Epic (USA)This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Matisyahu (rap vocals); Aaron Dugan (guitar); Josh Werner (bass guitar); Jonah David (drums); Yoni. A musical and religious anomaly, Matisyahu (born Matthew Miller) channels his Hasidic Jewish beliefs into deft lyrics unleashed in a surprisingly fierce and proficient raggamuffin style and supported by strong reggae grooves. Here Matisyahu presents his divinely inspired songs live, recorded at 2005's SXSW music festivals, backed by a tight band that is capable of navigating dreamy dub passages ("Fire and Heights") and careening through energetic funk-rock ("Chop 'Em Down").

"La Banda del Carro Rojo [CD/DVD]" (08/01/2006) International Original Soundtrack, FonovisaCorridos (Mexican folk narratives) existed long before los Tigres del Norte's formation in the late '60s, but los Tigres played a seminal role in the rise of a certain type of corrido: the narcocorrido, which describes the dangerous, violent and tragic world of narcotraficantes (drug smugglers). Los Tigres wrote the book on narcocorridos, helping to pave the way for everyone from Grupo Exterminador to los Tucanes de Tijuana to the late Chalino S nchez. And narcocorridos are a major priority on La Banda del Carro Rojo, a best-of that Fonovisa assembled in 2006. This release is hardly the only Tigres best-of that Fonovisa has put together; there have been quite a few others. But La Banda del Carro Rojo will be especially interesting to those who associate los Tigres with narcocorridos, which is not to say that all of the selections fall into that category. One of the most famous non-narcocorrido tracks is "La Jaula de Oro," which was covered by Latin pop/rock en espa?ol star Julieta Venegas (in an intriguingly non-norte?o fashion) and is a poignant account of a frustrated Mexican immigrant who has been working in the U.S. for ten years but still hasn't been granted citizenship. And "Tres Veces Mojado" is about a Salvadoran man who -- in the process of gradually making his way from El Salvador to Arizona -- has been an indocumentado (undocumented worker) in Guatemala, Mexico and the United States. But narcocorridos dominate La Banda del Carro Rojo, which -- unlike all the Tigres best-ofs that have focused on their '90s and 2000s output exclusively -- also boasts some of their groundbreaking narcocorridos of the early '70s such as the title track and "Contrabando y Traici¢n" ("Contraband and Betrayal"). Some musicologists have compared narcocorridos to gangsta rap, although the outlaw country tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Paycheck and Merle Haggard is an equally valid comparison -- and whatever comparisons one prefers, La Banda del Carro Rojo is full of gems that are essential listening for narcocorrido enthusiasts. ~ Alex Henderson

"Y Seguimos con Duranguense" (03/01/2005) International Los Hor¢scopos de Durango, DisaLos Hor¢scopos de Durango: Marisol Terrazas, Vicky Terrazas (vocals). The music of Los Horoscopos De Durango, with its sprightly waltz-time beats, is a cornucopia of Norteno delights, enhanced by the captivating vocal talents of Vicky and Marisol Terrazas. The women deliver songs both passionate and lighthearted over the band's pulsating synthesizer-and-brass accompaniment. Punctuated by signature lightning-fast percussion rolls, the songs of Los Horoscopos wind their way through a variety of originals and cover tunes, notably including a soulful take on the late Tejano icon Selena's "Si La Quieres," which pays homage to the memory of the departed star. Other highlights include the electrifying "Obsesion" and the equally energetic "Y Yo Sigue Aqui." On Y SEGUIMOS CON DURANGUENSE!!!, Los Horoscopos are all about fire and excitement, injecting every song with equal verve and flair, and conjuring a hot-blooded magic all their own.
