Each month Piranha Records presents to you the top world music album releases, as seen through the eyes of the World Music Charts Europe and Transglobal World Music Charts.

Radio DJs from 24 European countries collect each month their top albums for the World Music Charts Europe, which then leads to the annual WOMEX label award. The release of the charts is supported by the World Music Workshop of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and offers to EURORADIO members the opportunity to exchange music, experiences and projects.

The Transglobal World Music Charts was conceived in 2015 as an open worldwide network of music critics, who are working on a regular basis, spreading world, roots and traditional music.

We wave November hello with the masterful jazz and afrobeat tunes of Tony Allen's new album. The long-time Fela Kuti drummer "makes the complex sound effortless" (Picthfork, Sep '17 ) with his great musical skills and playful compositions spread all over this record.
