Enjoy this collection of the best in world music! "When hanging a portrait, it is very important what frame you choose. X Dot 25 Music invites us to consider melody 'portraits' from the Middle East, Azerbaijan, Africa, South America, etc. in contemporary western 'frames.' The lyric and background meld together succinctly thanks to the fact that these talented and developed artists are based in San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles and so on. They are knowledgeable both in the ethnic sounds they are bringing out and the culture they are bringing it into. This collection also works as a label sampler to the X Dot 25 Music progressive world music label. Each track is off of a full-length X Dot 25 release. Full information on the artists and source albums is provided in the full-color booklet. Among the salient cuts here are the amazing gypsy/flamenco guitar duets of Yussi & Django, masterful tabla percussion from Emam & Friends and the operatic tenor of Yaqub Zoroofchi. ~ Thomas Schulte, All Music Guide"

collection of the best in world music! There are many talented world music artists on the X DOT 25 label- so many, in fact, that we felt compelled to pick the best of the best and feature them in a sampler. We thought long and hard about an appropriate title, and after much deliberation we decided on "X DOT 25 World Sampler Volume 1". A stroke of genius, you say? Perhaps. Maybe just a stroke. Regardless, with so much fantastic music to choose from, we had to release a record that would give a broad cross-section of the listening public a taste of what we're about here at X DOT 25. So we sat down and listened closely to the myriad of talent in our library, and selected the thirteen songs that we feel represent the creative zeitgeist that moves us at this company. Audio portraits of artists like the intensely creative Haunted By Waters, the exotic lyricism of Aldoush & the Human Exchange, and the romantic, moving Yagub Zoroofchi; the playful virtuosity of Yussi & Django, the gut-grabbing textural and rhythmic sense of Mythos, or the jubilant aural celebrations of Karumanta Jamuyku. Add the sheer energy of santur player Alan Kushan, the sensuous power of Axiom of Choice, and the traditional beauty of Parinaz, Kamil Alipour and Sheila Bazleh and you have seventy-three minutes of music that takes you on a journey to distant realms and other eras. Enjoy this collection of the best in world music! Here are the songs on this collection:
