I'm talkign about the specific genre of that name, so no smart ass comments thanks. 
What regions of the world are you particularly taken with? Your preference?
What new artists have you heard, or established artsits and groups that you would recommend to others?
All that, in here.
Now there's a weekly World Music program on BBC Fivelive which i listen to, and i thought i'd flag up someone that i hadn't come across before.
She is of Cape Verdean descent and goes by the name of Sara Tavares. Both Portuguese [Fado] and African influences to her music, well obviously you might say. lol Album by the name of Balancê.
Algerian exile and now Paris resident, singer songwriter Souad Massi rose to the fore a few years back. Though relesed an Accoustic, Best Of, album, earlier this month.
Just a couple that i thought might nterest people, that i'd recommend.
