Unwired: Latin America comes in association with a good cause, just like the same company's Oxfam: Africa. In this case it's Amnesty International, for whom one of its groups--the Chilean Inti-Illimani--has frequently performed. Not that you'd know that from the liner-notes, which are maddeningly uninformative--no dates, no instrumentation, nothing to give you a handle on what you're listening to. All the same, this is a very engaging disc, beginning with the young Virginia Rodrigues--Brazil's answer to Cesaria Evora--who was snatched from obscurity four years ago in Salvador de Bahia. Virginia's incorruptible, horn-like tone simply holds you transfixed. And there are other great voices here, from the smoky bass timbre of Adriana Varela to the gnarled tones of veteran tango star Roberto Goyeneche. There are also some rare surprises, including the Bolivian group Rumillajta with their intriguing homemade wind instruments, and the Belizean Cecil Caliz and his backing group, whose sweetly-cooing garifuna music blends Latin influences with African ones.
