Around the World in 575 Songs is a guide to the music and cultural history of 200 countries, packed with fascinating stories about some of those musicians who've breathed new life into dying musical traditions. The four volumes (1 Europe, 2 Africa, 3 Asia & Oceania and 4 Americas) were published last autumn, and as a bonus, they come with a website, where you're never more than a couple of clicks away from listening to music from any country in the world - https://aroundtheworldin575songs.com/.

One of the ebooks is on offer until Feb 12th: Volume 1 is on sale at a £0.99 / $0.99 promotional price - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Around-World...

I'm the author, I live near Liverpool. This was a very personal project, a journey to find traditionally based music from every country in the world. The books are aimed at anyone with a passion for exploring other cultures. Chapter by chapter, I try to demonstrate that every country is special, and worthy of attention. Along the way I tell the stories of artists who’ve fought against the tide of globalisation and tried to keep alive music that’s rooted in traditional culture.
