Musical recommendation

Whenever I visit Waterford city, I always try and pop into Sinnotts record shop. They have a bargain rack that sells cheap CD’s that nobody else will buy. You can usually pick up very cheap themed-CDs like ‘The best of Russian/French/German opera’.
Recently I bought two compilation CDs called ‘Holding Up Half The Sky: Voices of African Women‘ and it’s companion, ‘Voices of Asian Women’. The African cd is very good and I’ll look into getting more music by some of the artists.
I’d only heard of Angelique Kidjo before but some of the other singers include Stella Chiswese, Ami Koita and, my current favourite on this cd, Netsanet Mellesse.
It was released on the Shanachie label in 1999 and the ASIN(?) is B000000E3U.
Incidently, Sinnotts shop is on Michael Street in Waterford. It’s basically the main shopping street in Waterford. It’s just up from ‘The Square’ plaza (which is actually triangular in shape!).
You can also see what other music I like on my lastfm page.
