 Let the battle commence! Win, and you could win the chance to feature on a future Rough Guide ... 

Undiscovered WorldRecent winners were featured on the album, The Rough Guide to Undiscovered World. An excellently eccentric Rough Guide  that is a whistle-stop tour of wild world music. The music here is previously un-released and sourced direct from 'Battle Of The Bands', so you won’t hear this anywhere else, and it’s not worth missing. Enjoy everything from a trio of Romanian harmonica enthusiasts to a Zimbabwean-Brazilian jazz project, and more.
