"This unique and thoroughly researched resource provides a dynamic
and in depth perspective on world music... It strikes a balance
between wonderful illustrations and comprehensive, scholarly
entries. Each regional volume includes a CD sampler of that
region's music. This source will have wide appeal to both the
novice and expert." -- Dartmouth Medal
"A valuable tool..." -- American Reference Books Annual
"An impressive scholarly accomplishment full of toughtful articles
on a rich diversity of topics with bibliographies that are a
treasure themselves." -- Against the Grain
"This is a monumental work of impressive scope that in less
competent hands could have fallen flat on its bibliographic
face...This volume (and the series) would see much use in most
public libraries and in academic libraries with even modest music
and popular culture courses." -- Library Journal
