World Circuit Records 1st Floor Shoreditch Stables 138 Kingsland Road London E2 8DY T: 44 (0) 20 7749 3222 F: 44 (0) 20 7749 3232 E: info@worldcircuit.co.uk W: www.worldcircuit.co.uk C: Nick Gold, Director World Circuit Records have established their reputation by producing some of the finest world music albums of the past two decades, specialising in music from Cuba and West Africa. The label is best known for the GRAMMY winning Buena Vista Social Club album (1997), which is the biggest-selling world music album of all time, and led to the phenomenal rise in the popularity of Cuban music. The Buena Vista series continues with solo albums from the GRAMMY winning Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Cachaíto López, Rubén González, Guajiro Mirabal, and the innovative new album from Angá Díaz. World Circuit's African artists enjoy equal prestige. Ali Farka Touré's GRAMMY winning Talking Timbuktu album (1994) recorded with Ry Cooder brought the label international acclaim, while other World Circuit artists such as Malian diva Oumou Sangare, the legendary Orchestra Baobab and musical maverick Cheikh Lô from Senegal have all emerged as major stars at home in Africa and around the globe. With their latest pairing of kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté and Ali Farka Touré, World Circuit continues to set a high standard. No signings have come from unsolicited demos.

E: post@worldmusic.net W: www.worldmusic.net Founded in 1994 by Phil Stanton and Sandra Alayón-Stanton, World Music Network's albums are now distributed throughout 35 countries across the world. World Music Network makes the successful Rough Guide CDs, in association with the Rough Guide travel books (see Media: Books and reference guides). There are now over 150 Rough Guide albums covering countries as diverse as the Sahara, Bolivia Japan, Australia, Greece and Wales, and styles such as bellydance, South African gospel, gypsy swing, delta blues and bollywood. Music from the Rough Guide series can be heard on the online Rough Guide Radio Show (www.worldmusic.net/listen/radio.html). On Riverboat Records, World Music Network produces well-known world music artists such as Mory Kanté, Emmanuel Jal, Sierra Maestra, Bob Brozman and René Lacaille, and on the Introducing label, they produce lesser-known talents, such as Shiyani Ngcobo and Daby Baldé, who deserve to be brought into the spotlight. 128 Wrasse Records Wrasse House The Drive Tyrrells Wood Leatherhead KT22 8QW T: 44 (0) 1372 376266 E: ian.ashbridge@wrasserecords.com W: www.wrasserecords.com C: Ian Ashbridge Wrasse Records was established in 1997. The one criterion for music on Wrasse is that they ‘must love it’. Wrasse sign albums from many sources – individuals, small companies and majors – and release these in every major territory around the world. The label works closely with agents and management to encourage and support live dates, as this is key to exposing the music to a wider audience. Their role is to expose the music to as many people as possible: to maximise exposure and therefore sales for all their artists. Artists include Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Lucky Dube, Angelique Kidjo, Ismael Lo, Salif keita, King Sunny Ade, Tinariwen and Pink Martini.
