2007 has come to a close, and there’s a new WIDR World Website to keep up to date with content… So here’s a list of the artists that were included on the year-end edition of WIDR World, which has traditionally been a wrap-up of releases from the year that is coming to a close… call it my top international music releases for 2007:
Konono No. 1 - Live at Couleur Cafe
Manu Chao - La Radiolina
Dungen - Tio Bitar
Vieux Farka Touré - Vieux Farka Toure (S/T)
Taraf de Haidouks - Maskarada
Sukhawat Ali Khan - Shukriya
Dino Saluzzi & Anja Lechner - Ojos Negros
Oliver Mtukudzi - Tsoka Itsimba

Andy Palacio & The Garifuna Collective - Watina
The Bob Brozman Orchestra - Lumière
Global Drum Project - Global Drum Project (S/T)

You’ll certainly hear more from these folks during 2008, but I do get a little bit of closure in doing this show and publishing this list.
