CD Reviews

Cool stuff! Great overview to African music

"This is positively the best introduction to African music! Contains great hits from masters like Youssou N'Dour, Franco, Kanda Bongo Man, Ali Farke Toure, Baaba Maal... This CD opened up a whole new genre of music for me. Irresistible tunes with an ethnic flavour.If you like this CD, check out these other great titles on the same (Music Club) label:- No easy walk to freedom - South African music- The very best of Ladysmith Black Mambazo- Youssou N'Dour Hey You! The Essential Collection - Lightning over the river: Congolese soukous- Rapture: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan- Latino Fiesta- Cores do Brasil series"

I love it!

"This CD is a must. The music is a good alternative to zoloft or paxil. It is imposible to be depressed listening to it. I first heared in a African Import store in San Diego and immediatly went out and bought it and now I want more. Everybody I've played it for loves it too. I never thought about contemporary african music before...it is great! Play it next time you have company and everyone will think you're very cool."
