Songlines is a British magazine launched in 1999 that covers music from traditional and popular to contemporary and fusion, featuring artists from around the globe.
Songlines is published 10 times a year and contains album reviews, artist interviews, guides to particular world music traditions, concert and festival listings and travel stories. Every issue comes with an accompanying compilation CD featuring sample tracks from 10 of the best new releases reviewed in that issue and five additional tracks.
The founding editor is Simon Broughton, co-editor of The Rough Guide to World Music. It is now edited by Russ Slater Johnson.
The name was chosen based on the aboriginal mythological concept of songlines.
