The salsa scene of the 1970s was diverse and full of bands struggling to gain recognition. Some of the biggest names, such as Fruko and Machito, emerged from this 'Golden Era', but The Rough Guide To Salsa Gold is also about digging deeper, about discovering buried treasure. It's about giving little known groups like Orquesta Dee Jay a chance to shine again, or uncovering that obscure track by a well-known artist. It truly is salsa gold.

If Paul Fisher's Rough Guide to the Music of Japan was rooted in clubland, his new compilation The Rough Guide to the Music of Okinawa takes us deep into the peasant past. Japan's southernmost archipelago--which the Japanese themselves regard as exotic--is pervaded by music that will strike Western listeners as both congenial and rivetingly strange. Many of the musicians in these excellently chosen tracks are passing on folk styles they learned from their grandparents and the dominant instrument is the sanshin, a three-stringed banjo with a snakeskin soundbox and a much more intimate sound than the shamisen, which is its bigger mainland counterpart. The ballad-singers here really compel you to listen: the greatest--Rinsho Kaderaku--died last year but his son Rinji has the same buttonholing sweetness. Some of the female singers are extraordinary, notably Ritsuki Nakano with her delicate ornamentation and Misako Oshiro with her clean, strong tone. There are some remarkable fusions, including Takashi Hirayasu and Bob Brozman (check out their Nankuru Naisa CD) and an English-American duo who combine traditional Okinawan folk styles with hip-hop, dub and various forms of electronica.

Infectious and volatile, Russian Gypsy music reflects a vibrant culture that has triumphed in the face of adversity. Driven by the distinctive seven-stringed guitar, this release celebrates the enduring strength of Russian Gypsy culture.

'The Rough Guide to the Music of Russian Gypsies' is accompanied by a FREE bonus CD by the Kolpakov Duo - 'The Art of Russian-Gypsy Guitar'. The legendary guitarist Alexander (Sasha) Kolpakov with his nephew and protégé Vadim Kolpakov combine on this recording as The Kolpakov Duo. Sasha began playing the unique Russian seven-stringed guitar as a young boy and throughout his long career developed his own distinctive style - going on to perform with a number Russian-Romani ensembles and later becoming the musical director of the famous Gypsy 'Romen Theatre'. Vadim has become one of the most renowned gypsy guitar virtuosos in the world, giving performances at Carnegie Hall, the Kremlin and countless Romani festivals. In 2008 and 2009, the Kolpakov Trio (Alexander, Vadim and the phenomenal violinist Arkady Gips) made headlines, performing as part of Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet' tour.
