Review by Pam
Global Voices Traditional is a compilation album that features traditional music from various regions across the world. The album is a beautiful representation of the diverse cultures and musical traditions that exist across the globe.
The tracks on the album are carefully curated, and each one brings something unique to the table. From the haunting melodies of the Japanese koto on "Sakura" to the rhythmic beats of the African djembe on "Kuku," the album is a journey through the sounds and rhythms of different countries and cultures.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tamborito," a lively and upbeat song from Panama that features traditional percussion instruments and call-and-response vocals. Another highlight is "Carnavalito," a traditional Andean song that showcases the beautiful harmonies of the quena (a type of flute) and the charango (a small stringed instrument).
