Repasamos algunas recopilaciones de reciente publicación pero que, en ocasiones, nos trasladan a sonidos clásicos y añejos, como la serie de Rough Guides del sello World Music Network dedicada a las músicas populares estadounidenses de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Escuchamos ejemplos de las compilaciones «Blind, black and blues» y de las dedicadas al «country blues» y a las raíces del «country». También escuchamos ejemplos de las Rough Guides de las músicas del mundo, edición 25 aniversario, y del «jazz» global. Suena también el recopilatorio «Journey to Asia» del sello ARC Music.
We review some compilations recently issued that lead us sometimes to old and vintage sounds, like the Rough Guides by the label World Music Network dedicated to the popular and traditional styles in the States during the first half of the 20th century. We listen to some tracks from the compilations «Blind, black and blues» and those dedicated to country blues and to the roots of country music. We also listen to some tracks from the Rough Guides to world music, 25th anniversary edition and to global jazz. We also play some music from the compilation «Journey to Asia» by the label ARC Music.
