All Uber the World

Woggers of the World, Unite!

Don’t get me wrong, I love American and British pop music. But sometimes I get a hankering for something a bit different. So lately I’ve been checking out music from different places around the world, particularly Africa and Central Europe, and have discovered some fabulous stuff that makes for a truly international workout. This week’s wog features, among others, the hyperkinetic Afro Celt Sound System’s unique cultural fusions, a truly supernatural Finnish folk song by the gorgeously talented Värttinä, and two irresistible “gypsy punk” pieces off the very danceable Gypsy Groove CD. Also groovy are Latin Hip Hop artists Ozomatli, French/African sensation Zap Mama, and even the world’s greatest Klezmer clarinetist, Giora Feidman. Your passport is waiting at Podwogging.com.
