Penguin Eggs, CD Review >>

Both of these two women’s compilations hold together well. Each of them also feature a handful of big names, such as Susana Baca, Lila Downs, Lhasa, and Toto La Momposina on the Latin American set, and Angélique Kidjo, Tarika, Dorothy Masuka, and Souad Massi on the African compilation. Each CD also features half a dozen singers or so that are less well-known but notable talents nonetheless. The tracks flow well together and this kind of cohesiveness makes for pleasant sustained listening whether at home or as background at the local coffee shop.
