Amazon wants to introduce you to music from the rest of the world.

As part of its online World Music Festival, the store is offering up unique sounds from countries like Israel, India, Nigeria, Romania, Ireland as well as more inclusive worldwide sets .

The compilations are expansive and impressive: Reggae samplers from Jamaica by VP Records and Pressure Sounds, Turkish Hits compiled by Mu-Yap, and the Cumbancha compilation spotlighting rhythms from Africa.

Belly dance to hypnotic Middle Eastern tunes. Sway your hips to pulsating Brazilian beats. Tap your feet to Flamenco music. Pump your shoulders to African drums.

And the best part?

Do it all for free by downloading complimentary MP3 music files from Amazon.

Price: Free | Visit Amazon
