I'm enjoying a lot of different types of world music courtesy of Putumayo, including Pacific islands, North African, and African.

Ryos, and Whirimako Black, among others. For the African and North African, neither too hard rock nor too dissonant is probably best for me. Again, some days I don't even feel like Klezmer, and that could be construed as my native music ... .
