Rather than trying to merely copy gypsy songs, he borrows its sounds to make emotive pop that's full of joy, sadness and longing. On the band's 2006 debut, The Gulag Orkestar, Condon takes a DIY approach where he sings and plays most of the instruments (saxophone, clarinet, mandolin, accordion and others). His very original take on regional folk brought Beirut critical acclaim, while their live shows -- complete with full brass and string sections -- drew international audiences throughout North America and Europe. On his sophomore album, The Flying Club Cup, with its decidedly French cabaret flair, Condon teamed up with multitalented violinist-producer Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy. - Dan Shumate]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4279&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Ethnic Fusion Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:05:47 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4279 art.4279 Ottmar Liebert art.4279 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4279&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4279&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38107&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Ethnic Fusion Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:53 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38107 art.38107 Jesse Cook art.38107 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38107&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38107&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7070909&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss French Pop Sun, 6 Dec 2009 09:55:37 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7070909 art.7070909 Carla Bruni art.7070909 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7070909&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7070909&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Quequ'un M'a Dit" (Someone Told Me), was an instant hit, selling millions of copies across Europe and snagging a Stateside release.

Her music is grounded in confessional, late 1960s and '70s singer-songwriter fare and she spins out alternately sensitive and humorously suggestive lyrics with throaty, Jeanne Moreau style vocals. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2325&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss World Pop Sun, 6 Dec 2009 09:55:36 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2325 art.2325 Manu Chao art.2325 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2325&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2325&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41659&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Classic Swing Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:50:05 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.41659 art.41659 Django Reinhardt art.41659 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41659&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.41659&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss L.A.

The album's lovely mix of bittersweet folk-pop, swirling '60s orchestral arrangements and discreet modern downtempo elements was an immediate popular and artistic hit in France. Keren Ann and co-songwriter/arranger Biolay were so productive that they followed the debut up with the sparser La Disparition (The Disappearance) the same year (!) and the album was almost as impressive as their debut. As a lark, Keren Ann recorded a set of unaccented English language demos on her own and was surprised to find that her record label wanted them released. Beefed up by Biolay's typically subtle arrangements, the set was recorded as I'm Not Going Anywhere (2004) and earned the singer an American distribution deal and rave reviews on both sides of the pond. Dividing her time between Paris and New York, Keren Ann crafted the home-recorded Nolita (2005), her first bilingual album and her first without Biolay on board. It once again touches on themes of dislocation, solitude and memory, all handled with the calm, collected and slightly mysterious manner that has become her trademark. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16680&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Flamenco/Fado Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:49:12 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16680 art.16680 Armik art.16680 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16680&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16680&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52532&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Baroque Pop Sun, 26 Jul 2009 09:47:01 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.52532 art.52532 Yann Tiersen art.52532 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52532&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.52532&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56043&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:56:00 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.56043 art.56043 DeVotchKa art.56043 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56043&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56043&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss SuperMelodrama, and they've released records regularly since.

And as crazy as it sounds, the disc actually went a long way toward capturing the joie de vivre of the band's live shows. In 2002, Gogol Bordello released their sophomore album, Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony, which seamlessly blended sounds as diverse as punk, gypsy, folk and cabaret. Darker in tone than its predecessor, Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony added a dash of theatrics to the mix, creating what Russians call "cruel romance" music. Hutz, a skilled DJ who routinely blends elements of Balkan, Indian and Arab music with a heady dose of dancehall and electronic beats, drew upon this experience for 2004's Gogol Bordello vs. Tamir Muskat. The album's crazed, party atmosphere and ferocious beats was a slight left turn for the band, who chose a more "traditional" sound for the following year's East Infection. Never a band to rest on its laurels, Gogol Bordello also released Gypsy Punk: Underdog World Strike in the same year for the uber punk label, SideOneDummy. Gypsy Punk… was produced by noisemeister Steve Albini, and furthered Hutz's sonic cocktail of foot-stomping, traditional gypsy music with chaotic, anthemic punk. That summer, Gogol Bordello treated punks of all ages to their frenetic, sweaty live show when they toured as part of the Vans' Warped Tour. - Linda Ryan]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69267&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Flamenco/Fado Thu, 5 Nov 2009 12:40:59 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.69267 art.69267 Paco de Lucia art.69267 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69267&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69267&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68956&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:48:59 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68956 art.68956 Robyn art.68956 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68956&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68956&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Don't Stop the Music in 2002. More label disputes ensued, so Robyn took yet another tack, collaborating with Swedish experimental synth-pop outfit the Knife. Guess what? Her label didn't like that either. Still, the cat-like Robyn bounced back with life number four, forming her own label (Konichiwa) in 2005 and releasing her self-titled fourth album. With Robyn, the dedicated pop star finally got her due, a decade after she started, in the form of multiple Swedish Grammies, several international hit singles and the respect of the U.S. music press (even before the album was released stateside in 2008). -

Perhaps spurred on by the international success of such sonically similar artists as Italy's Carla Bruni and Brazil's Bebel Gilberto, Azul was released in the U.S. and received a warm critical response. A lovely combination of 1960s Parisian pop, bossa nova and modern electronica, Azul was produced by chill crowd favorite Bertrand Burgalat and features Noguerra's breathy vocals and witty faux naif lyrics in Portuguese, French and English. Her subsequent album, Nee Dans La Nature, downplays the electronics and has an even more pastoral feel than her previous work. Philippe Katerine, Noguerra's musical collaborator, has released a number of worthy albums under the band name Katerine. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4845&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss French Pop Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:13:33 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4845 art.4845 Serge Gainsbourg art.4845 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4845&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4845&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Histoire De Melody Nelson is a concept LP involving a wealthy middle-aged man (Gainsbourg) being seduced and ultimately killed by a intoxicating Lolita (Birkin). As usual, Gainsbourg's often misanthropic lyrics for Melody Nelson are mordantly, bitterly funny, but the expansive music on the record (a mix of spacey guitars and elegant, cinematic strings) also makes it something that any music fan needs to hear - repeatedly. Not an immediate hit, Melody Nelson’s stature kept growing and along with its composer’s. Gainsbourg kept working at a dizzying pace, often gleefully scandalizing the public with an unkempt appearance and an even dirtier tongue. Whether Serge Gainsbourg's public persona was originally an act or not, his increasingly debauched lifestyle came to define him, and he died in 1991, before reaching 60. He left behind a body of work whose enormity is only matched by its excellence. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.571&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Euro Pop Fri, 7 Aug 2009 09:42:26 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.571 art.571 Zucchero art.571 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.571&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.571&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20779133&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Euro Pop Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:31:25 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.20779133 art.20779133 Generation 90 art.20779133 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20779133&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20779133&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7472117&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Balkans/Eastern Europe Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:28:39 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7472117 art.7472117 Balkan Beat Box art.7472117 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7472117&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7472117&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Nu Med, drew on the band's live dynamism, simultaneously looking farther afield for influences and forming a more cohesive sound.

Still, the group bounced back with their most adventurous release yet, 2007's Con Otro Aire (2008 in the U.S.).

While new fadistas abound -- including the likes of Christina Branco and Mafalda Arnauth -- it was Mariza's voice that made BBC 3 and other world music programs sit up and take notice. Her debut, 2001's Fado Em Mim, succeeded because she didn't treat the fado as a relic or as an elegant staging ground for her marvelous vocal talent. Instead she adhered to an old school of thought which says that to be any good, a singer needs to connect emotionally -- maybe even spiritually -- with the lyrics. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Mariza does: her fado is the sound of bereft sailors' wives, of loneliness and of little port towns set against squalling seas. She also experiments with other Portuguese folk forms -- she can even sing upbeat songs -- and has turned increasingly to original compositions with each successive album. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6877669&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss World Pop Sun, 6 Dec 2009 09:56:15 -0800 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6877669 art.6877669 Ojos De Brujo art.6877669 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6877669&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6877669&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Bari. But the group actually came together in 1996 as a loosely-organized conglomeration of folks who liked to jam together, including three percussionists, two flamenco guitarists, a turntablist and assorted vocalists. The group shared a love for everything from hip-hop, funk and soul to hardcore traditional flamenco and rumba. Four years after the jam sessions began, they released their self-produced debut, the well-received Vengue, and critics began to take notice of their explosive punk rock approach to flamenco. Frontman Dani Monoloco stepped aside to let vocalist Marina "Las Canillas" Abad take the reins for Bari. Abad's flamboyant style and DIY aesthetic suited the b! and perfectly, while her strong songwriting skills helped shape the band's evolving sound. By 2004 Bari had not only enraptured their hometown, Barcelona, but also garnered the group a BBC Radio 3 Award and international acclaim. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35463&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss Cantautor Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:25:11 -0700 Top Europe Artists on Rhapsody Online art.35463 art.35463 Joan Manuel Serrat art.35463 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35463&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.35463&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Feurope%2Fartist-chart.rss
