Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed beverages in America, and possibly the world. With coffee shops springing up like weeds, a compilation such as this comes at just the right time. Offering a little history on some of the worlds coffee cultures, this album features music from a variety of cultures where the beans are a common export. Great for passing the time while waiting for that pot to brew, listeners will be treated to the sunny, exotic sounds of Gigi (Ethiopia), Sabah Habas Mustapha (Indonesia), Mario Rui Silva (Angola), as well as selections from Central/South American regions like Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.
