2016. // uKanDanZ – Awo (Buda Musique)
2017. // Trio Da Kali & Kronos Quartet (World Circuit)

Kako je 2018. bila jako plodonosna u world music svijetu, tako sam izbrao čak 60 albuma za listu najboljih, a nju sam izlistavao na Facebook stranici Izvorišta prije Nove godine. Na Radio Studentu je u srijedu, 9. siječnja 2019. išla dvosatna emisija u kojoj smo preslušavali po jednu pjesmu s 20 najboljih albuma.
