Online Stores: World Music Specialty

CD Roots - "music from the road less traveled." This online CD store offers a voluminous range of music steeped in local roots from across the planet -- all offered up with the opinionated and helpful guidance of the quirky staff at your old local record store (before they were run out of town by Wal-Mart). A great site to buy Jumbie Records.


Calabash Music
- the web's best store for legal mp3's ("Fair Trade Downloads") and CD's of world music. Lacks a personal, but the selection is truly impressive. Calabash is also the online store host for Afropop.org and Global Rhythm Magazine, so you know they've got the goods.


WorldMusicStore.com
- a wide selection of CD's focusing more on traditional/field recordings and older styles, than the latest world-pop or experimentalists. All continents covered here, though Europe is a little slimmer than others.


Etnomusic
- a great world music store in Barcelona (if you're there) which also has a nice online catalog... although shipping is pricey for US (except for that ordering that Macaco import CD that's nowhere on any US websites). Site is in English and Spanish.


Online Music Stores (all genres)

CDBaby.com - the "little CD store with the best new independent music" is actually the biggest home to indie record labels on the internet. Much loved by listeners for all the music you can only find here, and loved by artists for the welcoming home they provide. Great MP3 samples of every album. Includes world music, as well as every other genre under the sun (except corporate mega-budget Clear Channel material). Jumbie's e-tailer of choice.


Amazon.com
- yes, you buy your textbooks here and your Father's Day blender. But don't underestimate the range of their music CD collection when you're looking for the hard to find. And they sell Jumbie too! (But expect a mark-up).


You can also try BarnesandNoble.com and TowerRecords.com if you're looking for a big, broad-ranged CD store online.
