Synopses & Reviews
The Rough Guide to World Music was published for the first time in 1994 and became the definitive reference source. Six years on, the subject has become too big for one book: hence this new two-volume edition World Music 2: Latin and North America, Caribbean, India, Asia and Pacific, 1.2 million words on the music of the world. 62 articles on everything from salsa and merengue to qawwali and gamelan and biographies of artists from Juan Luis Guerra to The Klezmatics to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
