Description
"Based on original interviews conducted over the last twenty years, Noise of the World spans the contributions of artists such as Nigeria's Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Senegal's Youssou N'Dour; Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney and Black Uhuru; flamenco's Jose Miguel Carmona of Ketama and La Barberia del Sur, the Klezmatics and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. The book also features artists such as the Gipsy Kings, Gloria Estefan, Hugh Masakela, and Miriam Makeba, whose music has become part of the mainstream while managing to stay true to its roots. These open and honest self-portraits will give music fans a greater appreciation of what is behind these sounds, the suffering these artists have endured, and the triumphs they have enjoyed."--Jacket.
First Sentence
