James Reed's top CD picks of 2007

  • First
  • Previous
Various artists
"Cult Cargo: Grand Bahama Goombay"

and
"The Roots of Chicha"

Funkier than a mosquito's tweeter, these two compilations proved that down-and-dirty dance music blossoms in the most unexpected places. "Cult Cargo" collected unknown pleasures from African and Caribbean artists recording in the late 1960s and '70s, while "The Roots of Chicha" explored psychedelic cumbias from Peru around the same era.
