The BBC World Music Archive covers countries from Albania to Zimbabwe, and you'll get a taste from five of the seven continents. I don't believe penguins make music, but if they did, the BBC would probably travel to Antarctica to record it!
If you'd like just one CD set to listen to, why not try Putumayo World Music 10th Anniversary Collection, 1993-2003 [CD INTERNATIONAL PUT]. Our world music collection is small, and we're always looking for recommendations of specific titles or artists so that we can expand it. If you have a suggestion, please leave it in the comments below.

Thanks for the BBC link. I don't know if this is already in your catalog, but here's a CD I like: http://www.amazon.com/Himalaya-Roots-Traditional-Music-Nepal/dp/B000003ZOQ/ And here's one that I'd like to get but haven't yet: http://www.amazon.com/Ireland-Scotland-Grainne-William-Jackson/dp/B0040QX94E/
Thanks for the recommendations, Tabatha! We just got 10 Putumayo CDs in, so that'll boost our collection a bit, too!
