This is a list of music that I consider essential if you want to know the music that is created around the world, by geographical area; Europe and America, except Brasil, are not included because they don´t produce much World Music. You will realize that Brazilian music is my favourite, because is a mix between african rithms, a beautiful language, portuguese, and the sensibility of a country that mainly has 2 passions: music and "futebol".
ÁFRICA
- Miriam Makeba - Mama Africa. The South Africa music "mother"

- Salif Keita - The Mansa of Mali. a "white" black that makes black black music
- Manu Dibango - Wakafrica. The elegance of Jazz with an african touch
ASIA
- Sheila Chandra - The Zen Kiss. A wonderful voice for a wonderful mix of indian, sefardi and pop music
- Dadawa - Sister Drum. The "Björk" from China, with tibetan touch, and a very special voice.
- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Mustt Mustt. A Big Big musician from Pakistan
