Eclectic avenue
Advocate, The, Dec 20, 2005 by Kurt B. Reighley
Surprise your more eclectic pals with In the Heart of the Moon (Nonesuch), mesmerizing duets by African guitar master All Farka Toure and kora (21-string gourd-harp) virtuoso Toumani Diabate. Or go way out there with The East Village Opera Company (Decca), a fab marriage of hard rock and opera: "Nessun Dorma" nails that tricky high note between Rent and classic Queen.
Then there's Senor Coconut Presents Coconut FM: Legendary Latin Club Tunes (Essay), a set of distinctive, contemporary South American dance-floor jams; think Fannypack slathered in salsa.
