of the classic Cuban artists with its Cuban Original series.

Smithsonian Folkways Music of Indonesia Series
For blissful listening from gongs to guitars, or just to jolt
your senses with music different than anything you've ever
heard before (or could even imagine hearing), check out the
20-volume Smithsonian Folkways-label Music of Indonesia series.
Descriptions, reviews, cover art and access to Real Audio samples
are provided for each title in this amazing series.

The Raga Guide is an introduction to Hindustani ragas, the melodic basis for the classical music of northern India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

Four CDs with a combined playing time of 5 hours, 15 minutes provide an overview of the 74 most widely performed ragas. The four CDs are packaged inside a 184-page book with analytical and historical information on each raga--and 40 additional pages of full-color reproductions of ragamala paintings depicting the themes of various ragas. Each raga is 3-6 minutes long and is performed on lead flute, sarod, or vocal with tabla percussion.
