 Rating:  - Various Artists: Sound of the World Presents Beyond the HorizonThe annual globe-hopping compilation from writer and broadcaster Charlie Gillett is a showcase for both headline stars and obscure gems. It's no surprise, then, to find tracks from stars like Toumani Diabaté, Orchestre Baobab, Israels Yasmin Levy or Uzbek diva Sevara Nazarkhan, but the oddities are often as arresting.

Charlie Gillett's annual two-CD round-up is now firmly established as one of the events of the summer, and this is another entertainingly varied guide to the expanding global music scene. Some of the artists are well known, so there's a reminder of the recent, exquisite work by Toumani Diabate and Orchestra Baobab, along with a tribute to South African reggae star Lucky Dube, whose murder was one of the tragedies of the year. Then there are the newer favourites, from tango star Melingo and the Israeli singer Yasmin Levy through to our own Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara, the American/Cambodian pop exponents Dengue Fever, or Brazil's most interesting new female singer, Ceu.
