Jazz Electronica World Many of MELT 2000's South African WORLD artists joined the label as a result of Robert Trunz's dedicated work in the new democratic era between 1993 and 2009 to promote the suppressed or largely ignored musical heritage of the many South and Southern African tribes. This compilation features songs by the late Zulu diva and songbird Busi Mhlongo, the angelic voice of Lungiswa from Cape Town who appears on a recording with Swiss guitarist Max Lässer. Madala Kunene, Mabi Thobejane, Amampondo and Shiyani Ngcobo are  well travelled and these days highly respected guardians of traditional music - a heritage long ignored in South Africa until globally promoted by MELT 2000.

Tuvan throat singing is one particular variant of overtone singing practiced by the Tuva people of southern Siberia. Shaman and overtone singer Boris Salchack &  Christy Doran worked with Airto Moreira on a unique album from which we present a track herewith. Airto not only produced Ricky Olombelo's  album - an amazing singer and percussionist from Madagascar but also  took it upon him to help promote the music of the lesser known Brazilian region  of Pernambuco with folkloric groups like the Banda de Pifanos - all presented on this compilation. Deepak Ram came to the attention of the World Music lovers with KITU - a track produced and licensed by MELT 2000 for the first in a series of famous BUDDHA BAR compilations which established World Music and its ambient and electronic derivatives in millions of homes across the globe.
