		<description><![CDATA[	

	It&#8217;s about time we heard some good news out of Iraq. And Tigris Nights, the newest release from the two-man band Gilgamesh, is very good news. The album is appealing and well-rounded and likely to attract even new world music listeners. Some tracks are purely instrumental and would make a great backdrop at any party. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	

	There aren&#8217;t many places that Americans can&#8217;t go. An U.S. passport is like a golden ticket to the world. So, it seems strange to have a nation just 90 miles off our coast that&#8217;s off-limits.

	Putumayo&#8217;s  Cafe Cubano offers a peephole view into this communist-ruled country. Every track is full of Cuban soul, reflecting the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	

	Norwegian folk singer &#216;yonn Groven Myhren&#8217;s newest album Gullveven (from the Etnisk Musikklubb label) is a collection of medieval Scandinavian ballads, sung in a straight-forward, traditional style. The sound is strange to the American ear, but pleasant in its simplicity and peacefulness.

	&#160;

	The instrumentation is light (several tracks are performed a cappella), and the focus is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Do the blues speak to you? Do hot Brazilian-style beats and funky African rhythms get your hips moving? If so, cast your ears across the ocean to Cape Verde, an island nation off the coast of Senegal. The Rhode Island-sized country was originally a Portuguese colony, a weigh-station for the transatlantic slave trade. In recent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	

	The funky/freaky/industrial mood of Cross Club, on the outskirts of Prague, definitely sets it apart from the tourist hubs in the center of town. In fact, our little posse of French/English/American travelers was the only tourists in the place. Our guide to the grungy side of Prague was a young Slovakian who manned the desk [...]]]></description>

	The smoke from Will&#8217;s cigarette drifted up to join the cloud that hung just below the brick cave&#8217;s low ceiling. Smoke particles refracted the stage lights&#8212;violet, fuchsia, and yellow&#8212;giving the tiny room a hazy glow. Patrons packed every table, filled every chair, the crowd a mix of local music lovers and tourists appreciating Prague&#8217;s vibrant [...]]]></description>

	Travel Tracks is on the move!&#160; Just a few days ago, I arrived in Rome, where I&#8217;ll be staying with an Italian family for three months. On my way to the Eternal City, I visited some old Soviet stomping grounds: Kiev, Ukraine, and Prague, Czech Republic.

	&#8220;Volare! The Very Best of the Gipsy Kings&#8221; is the perfect introduction to this French phenomenon. The double album is packed with their signature get-up-and-dance rhythms. Soaring guitars and passionate vocals create an intoxicating blend of flamenco and rumba. Classics like &#8220;Bamboleo&#8221; and &#8220;Volare&#8221; make it clear why the Gipsy Kings have been worldwide stars [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	

	Crammed Discs&#8217; 20 Ways to Float through Walls is both wildly eclectic and totally fabulous.&#160; With contributions from Gypsies, Tuaregs, Brazilians, Brits, Belgians, and others, the album is a seriously entertaining world tour.&#160; The disparate mix offers something for everyone, and each song has its own appeal.&#160;

	In such a grab-bag album, many songs are sure [...]]]></description>
