[coll:] DROP THE DEBT
World Village, 2003
A grab-bag of world music, in support of the movement to cancel the crippling debts of third-world nations. Many countries now spend more repaying old loans than they do on education, health care, and other essential services. Most of the tracks here were composed especially for this collection. Proceeds from the album benefit a network of organizations (such as Jubilee USA – www.jubileeusa.org) working for debt reduction.
Something for everybody. Fo's Picks: 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15
1. brazilian reggae groove
2. big-name duet vox, smooth ballad
3. samba w/ cool vocal effects
4. brazilian, triphop/dub kind of vibe
5. strong vox, colombian rhythm
6. guitar ballad, tricky male vocal
7. relaxed african reggae, cute
8. bouncy highlife, light & airy
9. remixed anti-debt speech (see liners)
10. cool fem vox + hiphop/chant break
11. s. african soul ballad, many singers
12. stripped, funky-jazzy brazilian
13. sweet duet vocal, nice guitar groove
14. mellow ballad, very relaxed
15. senegalese/french funk, old-school
16. slow diva ballad, live & smooth
