From Another World – A Tribute To Bob Dylan

These interpretations of Bob Dylan’s songs have been compiled as a tribute to his unique poetic achievement, both traditional and avant-garde, both humanist and prophetic. Artists coming from diverse tribal and traditional cultures, in which poetry and music still possess a strong social or ritual significance, have captured in their own way the universal themes so obvious in Dylan’s songs. “Soneros” from Cuba, Gypsies from Rumania and Hungary, poets from Rajasthan, musicians of the Nile, Persian masters, all perform a song chosen for its thematic connection to their own culture. The lyrics of the songs have been translated into the native language of each artist and then tailored to suit the verse and rhythmical patterns of each vocal and musical style.
