Don't be confused by the title. This is the 10th annual round-up by Charlie Gillett, our most influential world music DJ, and once again it contains an entertaining guide to the global scene. Regular readers of this page might have already got hold of many of the songs here, by the likes of Rokia Traoré, Radiokijada, Dub Colossus, Mariza, Oumou Sangaré, the Garifuna Women's Project or Chango Spasiuk. But if not, this set provides a good introduction. And along with the major names (which this year include Manu Chao and Gorillaz), there are some intriguing lesser-known tracks, from the virtuoso Hungarian violin player Félix Lajkó or CW Stoneking, a young Australian who manages to sound like a New Orleans veteran. The only fault I can find is with the sleeve notes on Miriam Makeba (the dates for her Sangoma album and for Nelson Mandela's election are wrong), but no matter. Gillett is passionately devoted to the music, and he is still rightly furious that when it comes to mainstream radio: "It is a scandal that all these artists are so completely and utterly sidelined by people who should know better." Amen to that.
