When World Music first captured the public imagination in the early
1980's, NPR's Tom Schnabel was in the vanguard. He introduced
international musicians to public radio and pioneered an eclectic format
that has become a standard for alternative radio nationwide. Inspired
by more than a decade of interviewing international artists and playing
their music, Schnabel has mapped a global tour of the international
figures making music history today. A stunningly illustrated and
fact-filled journey, Rhythm Planet also features selected
discographies and Schnabel's list of essential World Music recordings.
An antidote to the latest flavor of pop, Rhythm Planet is an
affirmation of what music can be: the most passionate expression of the
human spirit, transcending limits of culture and language.
