From Another World: A Tribute To Bob Dylan / Var

Musicians from around the World pay a heart felt tribute to one of the great American poets and songwriters.


These adaptations of Bob Dylan s work have been compiled as a tribute to the unique poetic value, in its humanity, its prophetic, traditional and at the same time activist nature. Artists from across the world of different ethnic and traditional cultures, where poetry and music continue to hold a social or ritual signification, have captured, in their own way the universal implications of Dylan s prose.


Soneros from Cuba, Gypsies from Rumania, poets from Rajasthan, musicians
of the Nile, Persian sufis, have each chosen to portray in their own way, one
song from Dylan s repertory whose subject has a particular link to their own culture. Dylan s inimitable lyrics have been translated into the local community language of each artist and then tailored to suit the verse and rhythmic patterns of the vocal and musical style.
