Steeped in the ancient tradition of the Bauls, the wandering spiritual musicians of Bengal, 'Music of the Honey Gatherers' is a beautiful and varied collection of stripped back and powerful trance-inducing Baul songs, imbued with the itinerant flavour of life on the road. This CD coincides with the release of the book entitled 'The Honey Gatherers' by Mimlu Sen. The book is an autobiographical account of Sen's journey with Paban Das Baul deep into the heart of Bengal, the rural hinterland behind Calcutta where few tourists ever go. In this fascinating and unusual book, she describes how they make their way across country, from shanty town to village, from monastery to festival, perched on the roofs of buses and squeezed inside trains, encountering tantrics and sages, exorcisms and witch sightings, catfish that climb trees and esoteric secrets - and fall in love. A European wide tour is planned to coincide with the release of the album, which was the culmination of many years work, imbued with the itinerant flavour of life on the road. The result is a collection of beautiful songs from the wandering Baul singers from the very eastern end of the Indo-Gangetic plains of India - an album which marks the return to his folk origins and Baul musical culture, lovingly produced and arranged by Paban himself to create an emotional, varied and intensely spiritual collection of songs. Paban Das Baul has gained worldwide recognition for his trance-inspiring, and energetic performances.

Tande-La has its share of stirring moments, but is also a challenging listen heard all at once, so The Creole Choir of Cuba are probably best experienced on stage first.

--Jon Lusk Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off Amazon in a new window And what voices they are. Lead singer Fidel Miranda begins with the striking Edem Chanté, the first of several rousing freedom songs dating from the bloody years of the Duvalier regime. He also closes the album with the extraordinary Chen Nan Ren, which they performed on Later… with Jools Holland. It’s just a shame the sleeve notes don’t credit individual lead vocalists, as there’s more than one female star apart from their director, Emilia Diaz Chavez.Most of the material is fairly upbeat, suggesting their repertoire is tailored more to live performance. Just as the stridency and driving triple-time rhythms of Tande begin to wear, they lower the tempo with the soulful Lumane Casimir. The following track Fey is a vodou folk song that seems quite different from its namesake by Haitian group Boukman Eksperyans. And Dulce Embelezo, a bolero by the great Miguel Matamoros, finds them singing in Spanish.The classical training all the members have had is evident in their sometimes slightly square tones, but this is tempered by their obvious passion, and a live-in-the-studio recording style. It’s tempting to compare them to their totally a cappella compatriots Vocal Sampling, who mimic instruments with their voices; but that group are focussed on Latin material and only sing in Spanish. The distinctive bass voices in the Creole Choir of Cuba (five men, five women) do something similar at times, but they have as much in common with a gospel choir such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo and also use some percussion. Even so, as co-producer John Simpson observes in their promotional video: "It’s all about the voices. Read more Tande la

Cesaria Evora, a Cape Verdean with a rich alto voice, has been accurately described as a cross between Edith Piaf and Billie Holiday. It wasn't until 1988, though, that Evora traveled to Paris to record, and her fourth album, 1992's Miss Perfumado, made her a major star in France and Portugal. Her 1994 album, Cesaria Evora, duplicated that triumph, and it's this latter recording which has become her first U.S. release. Evora, celebrated in Europe as the "Barefoot Diva," is now 52, but she is still able to give every word a breathy intimacy even as she fills it with a pitch-perfect, full-toned resonance.

Evora, celebrated in Europe as the "Barefoot Diva," is now 52, but she is still able to give every word a breathy intimacy even as she fills it with a pitch-perfect, full-toned resonance. Drawing on the work of such top Cape Verdean songwriters as Nando Da Cruz, Amandio Cabral, and Manuel De Novas, she sings in Criuolo, a Creole variation of Portuguese. As in Brazil, another former Portuguese colony with a strong African influence, Cape Verde has produced a music which is light and airy even as it incorporates African rhythms and quartertones.
