The very first moments of Rodrigo y Gabriela's sophomore effort, 11:11, hit the listener cold in the face, and not just because of the amazing guitar playing. Sure, it's there, but it's what anyone who heard the duo's astonishing debut would expect. No, it's the sound of the ...

As a compilation of Pan-African works, this compilation from Shanachie is amazingly thorough. Nearly all of the regions and musical styles of Africa are represented (as opposed to the usual style of just West African griot songs, or South African vocals, or Kenyan melodies, or soukous, etc.). The Mahotella Queens begin the album with a stunning display of the South African township style. They're followed by pop-funkster Angelique Kidjo on "Batonga." Senegalese mbalax singer Kine Lam is next, and then the powerful singer Aicha Kone from the Ivory Coast. Mbira master Stella Chiweshe contributes a work of skill on "Ndindereri," and Kinshasan M'Bilia Bel follows with a work from Rochereau. Ami Koita, a Manding singer, then appears to give tribute to a Guinean businessman. Mauritanian Malouma ...

There's a distinct difference between psychedelic music and tunes that are simply strange, but that distinction seems to have escaped the folks at Sublime Frequencies who compiled this collection of Latin American aural oddities. While the screaming slide guitar that opens "Mama Loo/Ata una Cinta Alrededor del Viejo Roble" by Sergio Del Rio y Su Conjunto might sound pretty trippy, once the tune shifts into a cover of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree," it's obvious this is just easy listening that took a wrong turn somewhere, and most of the rest of the album is devoted to vinyl rarities that may be curious, but they're hardly mind expanding. Some aren't even all that odd beyond the language gap -- an excerpt from an Argentine recording of "Peter and the Wolf," some light rock remakes of popular classical melodies, traditional folk songs, and clips from a Peruvian instructional album for those who want to learn English. There are a few examples of solid Latin American rock & roll -- most notably Ventures-style instrumentals from Argentina's Los 4 Planetas and Chile's the Bates, and "Pequeño Salvaje" by Renos, which includes a long and frantic drum solo. And the compilers have included a few entertaining bits of difficult easy listening, most notably the Esquivel-on-a-budget of Marimba de la Direccion de Seguridid Publica de Chiapas, the helium-voiced critters of Tecnicas de Concentracion y Relajacion Yoga, and Citara Trio playing what most Americans will remember as "the Frito Bandito Song." But too much of this is mildly eccentric without sounding particularly revelatory, and while collectors of such things are doubtless used to a certain amount of surface noise on CD reissues taken from vinyl, this time the flaws are very noticeable and often take away from the music. In short, if you're looking for something that will make you say "Oh, wow," this isn't quite it. ~ Mark Deming
