The Very Best of Albanian Music
Such a rarity for music as esoteric as Albanian Pop to be universally enjoyable even by foreigners who have no idea what the lyrics mean. It's now hard to fully recover just how isolated communist Albania was in those days. Big Brother was busy sanitizing almost every aspect of the culture, relentlessly screening out any hints of decadent bourgeois Western influence. Yet these songs clearly evoke sounds from the American music scene of the early 20th century. I have no idea how this amazing music managed to make it out to the public. "Naten Vone" is probably my favorite song. In fact, I recommend listening to the album backwards. Enjoy!
Vaçe Zela has a flawless voice! ...And isn't it eerie how she could be Halle Berry's white twin in that album cover?

India's 1.2 Billion Customers -- How to capture the world's most exciting new marketplace
Over the past decade India has captured the attention of the greatest consumer companies in the world. But despite their aggressive efforts, most of them have yet to find or secure a comfortable place in India’s market. After years dedicated to establishing market share, their positions remain vulnerable: They launch products and pull back, change their branding, or see their positions undermined by local rivals. Why?
Conventional wisdom derived from experience in the developed world does not apply to India. When orthodox business practices fail, new ones must be rebuilt from the ground up, specifically tailored to India’s markets.
This book explains the unique challenges posed by India and how to overcome them. The undertaking should be worthwhile to anyone interested in acquiring 1.2 billion new customers.
