Title: Good introduction to Makossa-style music
Product review: To keep it short, this CD will give you a great taste for Makossa. If you've never heard of the style, Makossa is rhythmic pop/rock style that originated in Cameroon, West Africa. Much of Paul Simon's Graceland album uses a Makossa-style rhythm, because it is similar to accoridian jive. Many artists use nonsense words in Makossa, so if you don't understand all the words in Bana Ba Makosa, don't worry! You don't have to, and in fact you probably weren't expected to. This is a CD that you can leave playing for hours and never get tired of the dancing beat. Dancing is a major part of Makossa, and as they say, "If you don't dance, well, then, you're no friend of mine!"
