Title: Over two hours of modern African music
Product review: This 2 CD collection of tracks from around the continent starts with a version of Manu Dibango's SOUL MAKOSSA featuring Youssou'n'Dour, and continues with a succession of soulful and diverse contributions from artists such as: Ismael Lo, Mory Kante, Toure Kunda, Baaba Maal, Papa Wemba, Pepe Kale, Diaou Kouyate, Mama Keita, Djanka Diabate, Kanda Bongo Man, Zaiko Longalonga, and Mahlathini & Mahotella Queens. It acts as a great introduction to a wide-range of musical talents and styles, and it contains some powerful compositions. The tracks featured demonstrate the versatility of many African vocalists today, and the album exhibits some beautiful experimental sounds.Check out E'MMA, a plaintive anthem, DONI DONI, or M'FONO YAMI for a taste of cd 1.On cd 2 try ATTENTION COCO, an uplifting folk ballad, or SANGO, a fast-paced soukous number with a soaring guitar duet.
