[excerpt]
World roots music. Before world music became a genre in itself, listeners looking beyond pop, jazz and classical had to scour the "ethnic music" bins to find sounds from other parts of the globe. Until the Nonesuch Explorer series, that is, which released, from 1967 to 1984, an enormous collection of recordings made in the field in every area of the globe. Nonesuch is now releasing this extremely valuable, compelling collection of music on CDs in issues grouped by global region. The first set of 13, released late in 2002, was devoted to African music. The next set, scheduled for January, will consist of 10 titles from Indonesia and the South Pacific -- each a precious window into another culture. 12/27/02
