The Rough Guide to the Music of Central America is a world music compilation album originally released in 2001. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series,[1] it has been described as the first comprehensive CD collection of Central American music.[2] The album contains five tracks from Belize, three each from Honduras, Nicaragua, & Costa Rica, two from Panama, and one from Guatemala. The compilation was co-ordinated by Duncan Baker and produced by Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[3][2]
Thom Jurek of AllMusic gave the album four stars, calling the music a "revelation" and a "stunning wake-up call".[2] Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic, describing the album as leaning more toward Creole cultures than the "subcontinent" warranted.[4]
