Global Rhythm magazine maven Alecia Cohen selects a few faves for Edge of the World, echoing the content of her similarly-titled world music column. Brazil, Cameroon, China and more all check in thanks to contributions from established edge-pushers like Dr. Israel, Zuco 103 and Karsh Kale. However, it's world music's next generation acts, such as So' Forest, Los De Abajo, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and Dhol Foundation who sow the fresh seeds here. Read the discourse, then rotate the disc.
