"Global Minstrels":Voices of World MusicBy Elijah Wald"Global Minstrels" (Routledge; $26.96) goes deep inside the world music scene by introducing today's leading world performers through intimate conversations. Although interest in world music is on the rise, it is nearly impossible to get accurate, historical data on the top performers. Even a Google search reveals only fragments of information and sketchy web pages, often in other languages. Former "Boston Globe" world music critic Elijah Wald closes the gap by providing up close introductions to key artists and performers from around the world. A natural read for music lovers. 01/01/07
