Top 10 World Music Albums

October  2015

1. Te Vaka – Amataga
2. Dizu Plaatjies and Friends – Ubuntu-The Common String
3. Seckou Kouyate – Sabaru
4. Buika – Vivir Sin Miedo
5. Novalima: Planetario
6. Seffarine – De Fez a Jerez
7. Terne Chave – Bo Me Som Rom
8. Bixiga 70: III
9. Karim Nagi – Detour Guide
10. Mamah Khadem – The Road

Lots of new faces on this month's chart. The only two holdovers are Peru's Novalima and Brazil's Bixiga 70. Definitely check out the other newbies, including Spanish singer Buika, Portland, Oregon based Seffarine, and the genre-bending (and stereotype-destroying) album from Karim Nagi.
