Suitable for use at GCSE and A level. Each unit is free-standing and can be used effectively on its own. Alternatively multiple units can be combined in any order to provide an Introduction tothe musical traditions of the world.The music incorporated in World Sound Matters has been carefully selected and prepared by the author in consultation with other music specialists and professionals actively engaged in music education. Two aims have been paramount: on the one hand readers need analyses of a wide range of musical traditions which are both authoritative and yet remain accessible to the non-specialist; on the other hand the many musicians whose work appears on the sound recording deserve a thorough and sympathetic study which neither cheapens nor dilutes their artistry.

La musique des huit frères de Faya Dub est un long fleuve majestueux qui roule des eaux vibrantes depuis ses sources lointaines : le reggae, le ska, et le rocksteady. Cette fusion purement instrumentale délivre des thèmes de cuivres profonds qui résonnent le long des larges méandres rythmiques de la reggae music, tout en s?évadant vers d?autres territoires musicaux, afro beat façon Fela, jazz à la manière de Mingus, musiques de l'Est...

Faya Dub is back blazing the trail - true to their founding credo as reggae instrumentalists and underlining with each song the evolution of the music from ska to rock - blended with dance-hall and dub school effects. The group went further to add a variety of traditional musical influences acquired mostly on the road, in their ever-widening tours in Europe...
