Description:
Despite various political borders, the music of the Mediterranean is united by ancient traditions that originally linked North African and Andalusian music, which were spread by the travelling sailors and merchants. Today, Spanish flamenco, Algerian raï and Turkish pop can be heard throughout the bars and café’s across the region, and it is these rhythms among others that constantly shape and influence the area’s musical development. The Rough Guide To Mediterranean Café Music explores the café culture of Greece, Israel, Italy, France, Palestine, North Africa and others, and presents some of the Mediterranean’s most exhilarating coastal sounds.
