Best World/Ethnic Music

[byrnesc1]

Which region or country do you find has the best "ethnic/native/traditional/national" music, both modern and "traditionally". For me, I really like Cumbia, specifically cumbias villeras from Argentina or colombian cumbias and tipicas. Recently, I've been getting into some African music, specifically stuff from The Very Best and Radioclit. I've listened to some Indian/Middle Eastern and Asian music but don't have very much knowledge as far as good artists and DJ's. You're guys' thoughts?
