Putumayo has a VERY nice catalog of 'world music'.

cheers!

 

[auradud3]

thanks i will have a look, but does anyone have knowledge of female vocalist in particular?

 

[auradud3]

just got back from putumayo, they either require real player, or windows media player, i am on a mac, so i dont want to do windows, and i have to purchase a real time licensee? whats up with that? i cant sample music?

I would suggest Oumou Sangare's Oumou. I would also suggest Tshala Muana's Mutuashi. Finally, I very highly recommend Les Amazone de Guinee's Wamato. All three are Sub-Saharan African.

afrocelt soundsystem - mostly male vocals
afrocelt
baka beyond - pigme vocalists (mostly female)
Baka Beyond

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Teresa (now Tereza) Salgueiro (former vocalist of Madredeus)
Dulce Ponte
Cristina Branco
Misia
Amalia Muge

Soooo many great singers…maybe try:

Mayra Andrade (Cape Verde)

Gal Costa (Brazil) - start with "Sonho Meu"

Fairuz (Lebanon)

2x on Tshala Muana (Congo)

2x on Dulce Ponte (Portugal)

Mariza (Portugal)

Some of Bebel Gilberto's singles are nice (like "Aganjú"); not crazy about her albums as a whole, though.
