Complete list

The Rough Guide to the Music of India and Pakistan is a world music compilation album originally released in 1996. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series,[1] it focuses on the music of India and Pakistan, ranging from Hindi film songs to Hindustani classical music to Qawwali to folk. The release was compiled by Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[2] Artwork was designed by Impetus and Anthony Cassidy.[3]

Adam Greenberg of AllMusic gave the album three stars, recommending it to new listeners, while criticizing the truncating of the classical pieces.[4] Michaelangelo Matos, writing for the Chicago Reader, described the release as "consistent" but "repetitious".[5]
