Metro Blue’s World Christmas gathers global voices on one festive compilation — Cesária Évora’s mournful morna rubs shoulders with Angélique Kidjo’s driving Afro-pop and Vocal Sampling’s tight a cappella. The set moves from Caribbean Jazz Project’s sunlit Latin jazz grooves to Deep Forest & Lokua Kanza’s ethno-electronica pulses and John Scofield & The Wild Magnolias' swampy, funk-leaning jazz. It’s a holiday record that favors texture and rhythm over standard seasonal schmaltz.
