By: Andrew Gilbert
What gall! Even attempting to create a list of the best albums released around the world this year, in a confounding array of styles and traditions, is an act of hubris. But since I receive a large number of CDs by international artists, I'm comfortable recommending several as particularly noteworthy. All the albums listed here are distributed within the United States and are readily available from Amazon.com or from such record stores as Amoeba. All prices listed are from Amazon.
"Randana," Le Trio Joubran, Sheer Sound, $18.98: A remarkable trio of Palestinian-born oud-playing brothers, the Joubrans combine astonishing unity of purpose with distinctive musical personalities. Steeped in classical Arabic modes, their precariously filigreed music is marked by passion and precision. 12/24/06 >> go there
