Global Top 10, May 2009
THIS
WEEK'S SHOW
There's some wonderful new stuff on this month's
chart, including Staff Benda Bilili (read their
amazing story), the latest from Zap Mama, and
a powerful, mature release from Maori group Moana
& the Tribe. Alongside the newcomers are albums
still spinning strong from last month.
There are the collaborations: Bela Fleck's musical
tour of Africa, Oreka TX's txalaparta wanderings,
and India-meets-America on Slide to Freedom. Add
in great albums by Poland's Warsaw Village Band,
Russia's La Minor, Mali's Amadou & Mariam, and
Israel's Idan Raichel Project, and you've got perhaps
the strongest Top 10 list so far this year. This
show plucks a highlight from each of these albums
in the first hour, and adds more new releases in
the second hour.
