CD Reviews

Eclectic Africa
Anita L. Cole | 08/05/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It's too bad the samples are of the first songs on the CD, as the best tracks are 7-9. This is a potpourri of musical styles, so you must be very eclectic in your tastes to like this album, much of which is not in English. The one cut I really did not like was the jazz cut, but then, I don't like jazz much. Other than that one song, I liked the rest of them with varying intensity. For people looking for World Music artists to interest them, this album provides a number of artists who are famous in their own countries who provide fine examples of the type of music they play."
