Spin the Globe: World music news, reviews, radio, Artist Review >>

various artists : Global Lingo (Project Ahimsa) Project Ahimsa website Project Ahimsa on Facebook Being a radio show, Spin The Globe doesn't often warm to DJ mix CDs -- we prefer to create our own musical blends. We'll make an exception for the album Global Lingo, a mix by DK Bollygirl vs. dimmSummer. There's a nice flow from track to track, and a great blend of musical styles from artists we know (Michael Franti & Spearhead, Rocky Dawuni, Sila & the Afrofunk Experience, Funkadesi) and promising newcomers. Billed as "a mix of youth and hope featuring children and artists from around the world," the album is the work of Project Ahimsa, which creates and supports music education programs for kids worldwide. So the youthful, hip-hop heavy vibe of the album should come as no surprise, though you'll also hear significant sprinklings of reggae, dub, and electronica. "Out of all the things kids need, why music?" asks Robin Sukhadia, Project Ahimsa's international grants program director. "It instills discipline, builds confidence, and increases communication between kids, family, and the greater world, all tools for success no matter where you're from. ... [Music] is one of the few ways they have to express themselves in a nonviolent way." Sukhadia (aka Tablapusher) even used samples of children's voices on the album's opening track, "Speak It." It's a satisfying way of having the project come full circle, from grants to teaching to having the kids contribute to this album. The album's executive producer, Vijay Chattha, explains that the album is "a progress report on what [Project Ahimsa has] been doing these past seven years. So we got artists who had performed at our events together with the children in the programs we fund. The kids want to learn and get involved, and they wanted to record." It should be noted, however, that many of the tracks are pulled straight from previously released albums and do not include such collaborations. Global Lingo is a satisfying mix, suitable for dancing, partying, or beatful lounging. You'll definitely want to tell the kids in your life about this one, as it's mostly conscious music and it's all for a good cause. The album will be released on August 11 as both a 17-track album and the DJ mix I've been digging. 07/01/09 >> go there
