Here's another fine set of music. Two different guys playing an upright stringed instrument called a kora, one acoustic one electric plus bass and percussion...
All Music Guide: 4 stars. "Given his reputation in Europe and his native Guinea, as well as his pedigree, the debut from kora player Ba Cissoko and his group arrives with plenty to live up to. For once, though, all the hype is more than justified.
There's plenty of dance music on hand here; all of it from the Manding tradition, but given a healthy, and sometimes daring edge that makes it contemporary without being deliberately modern. Cissoko himself plays acoustic kora, and his skill is quite breathtaking. But things take a tilt into the unknown when the band's other kora player, Sekou Kouyate amplifies his instrument. While you know it's still a kora, the things he does with it turn it on its head -- it's little wonder he's been called the Jimi Hendrix of the instrument.
The sound becomes totally new, exciting waterfalls of notes that are palpably thrilling. The rhythm section of bass and percussion anchor it all, and keep the groove going quite effortlessly. This is trail-blazing, purely West African music of a kind not heard in far too long, and completely irresistible."

O Primeiro Canto- Dulce Pontes (MCA) Thanks for the links, Glen B.
You might not think a woman with the last name of Martin could be a serious flamenco singer. Think again. Mayte Martin- Querencia (EMI)

Geez . . this topic was about to go to page three. Is that typical? Well, for those of us who know that beauty is not limited to time and place, here's some soulfood . .
Miguel Povida- Zaquan (Harmonia Mundi France). A young traditionalist flamenco singer. Get a load of the intro to track 7 on Amazon.
Christina Branco- Ulissis (Decca). Lovely sound. Her one song in english, she is a portugese fado singer, is Joni Mitchell's A Case Of You. Beautiful.

Summers- I could only find one track at CD Universe of Amal Murkus to listen to on a compilation disc. Amazon, CD Baby had no samples. I like what I heard. Any suggestions as to where I can hear more?
