近年大體只看兩份刊物的年度音樂榜單:英國的《The Wire》和日本的《Music Magazine》。兩邊我最感興趣的都是世界音樂部分。這裏有些未必是傳統定義上的世界音樂(複數,傳統定義也不只一種),例如 Masaka Masaka 是烏干達電子音樂家。世界音樂這個標籤怎麼用都容易讓人不舒服,但它依然有效。
鏈接大部分是 Apple Music(以美區爲準。目前已知《The Wire》榜單中所有專輯在中國區都找不到),有幾張是 Bandcamp。Nigerian Guitar Roots 未能流播。
《Music Magazine》二零二五年一月號,原田尊志、深澤美樹、松山晉也選編。注意 Nigerian Guitar Roots 係深澤本人製作。
