Peruvian singer Susana Baca is joined by Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil on this exquisitely performed collection of folk-based material. An agreeable antidote to the typical pipe-based perceptions of Peruvian music, this guitar-centric collection features muted percussion, string arrangements, and contributions from such luminaries as New York musicians Marc Ribot and Kevin Breit, as well as Baca's signature strong-yet-sensitive vocals. Rhythmically compelling and subtly arranged, TRAVESIAS cements Baca's position as one of her country's most pre-eminent female vocalists.

| | Lhasa Living Road CD (2003)
Travesias album
$12.79 Everyone knows that when you release your debut album, consisting of an assortment of sophisticated and worldly numbers performed in Spanish, and that album goes on to make a far bigger splash worldwide than anyone expected, the only sensible course of action is to...run away and join the circus? That's precisely what Lhasa de Sela did following the success of La Llorona: she joined with other members of her family, which always had a nomadic streak in it, and toured around Europe as part of a circus. Upon her return, she got to work on The Living Road, an album about travel, whether it be wheels upon the road, or through life itself. It's hard to say whether the experience of life on the road ...
| | Ali Farka Toure Ali & Toumani CD (2010)
Travesias CD music
$14.70 Due to the international success of In the Heart of the Moon, Mandé lineage griot Toumani Diabaté wanted to make a follow-up with fellow Malaian, the legendary guitarist Ali Farka Touré. The first record had been cut in Niafunke, Touré's home village in the north of Mali, Diabaté contacted World Circuit's Nick Gold about doing the follow-up in London, where the pair was due to play a couple of concerts. Gold agreed and suggested they include Cuban bassist Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez on the session. There was some urgency: Touré was dying. The sessions were cut over four days in June of 2005; this is his last recording. The contents are made up of improvisations and new versions of old songs from both men's regions. Opener "Ruby" is a gorgeous improvisation, where Touré doesn't play the role of guitar slinger, but of a guitarist playing only for his ...
| | Wynn Stewart After The Storm CD (1976)
Travesias music CDs
$10.35 Wynn Stewart was one of the great country singers, and his influence was substantial, too, but his chart success never reflected the stature of his talent. During his early '60s peak on Challenge Records, when he was one of the architects of Bakersfield country, he had only one national Top Ten country hit, and when he switched to Capitol in the second half of the '60s, he scored a number one hit with the smoothed-over country-pop of "It's Such a Pretty World Today." He had three other Top Ten hits after that, but they were glossy approximations of the light, skipping Bakersfield sound and then he pretty much dropped off the radar during the early '70s, until he signed to Playboy and turned out the fine comeback effort After the Storm. It gave him another final Top Ten hit in the title track, but more than that, it gave him one of his better albums. At the time, Playboy was best-known as the home of Mickey Gilley, the singer who managed to give the rowdy, hardcore country of his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis a bit of a softer cosmopolitan shine, opening it up to a wider audience. This was due in part to the contributions of producer Eddie Kilroy, who also helmed After the Storm and gives it the same production he would give Gilley, guiding Stewart to a selection of material that walks the line between honky tonk and country-pop, including several new Stewart originals and revivals of his classics "Wishful Thinking," "Big Big Love," and "Sing a Sad Song." These new recordings carry a nice, reflective maturity in Stewart's delivery, marking them as distinctly different versions to the originals, and the rest of the album doesn't pale in comparison, with Stewart's wry originals "Don't Monkey With My Widder" and the playfully dark "I'm Gonna Kill You" carrying the torch for Bakersfield country, with "After the Storm," "Lonely Rain," "It Always Rains on Me," and "It's Such a Pretty World ...
