Synopsis

Album Description

More of the music that inspired the outrageous novel - indispensable classics and unknown gems from the golden age of African pop. The music on this record ranges in time from the mid-seventies to the early nineties, and shows some of the diverse ways in which West African musicians responded to the musical challenges of this period. Guitars are from Mars, Balafons are from Venus!

CD Reviews

Great set of African popular music

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 11/25/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The second volume in this series is of a similarly high calibre to the first... an album that blew a lot of people's minds when it came out in 1998. If you're already heavily into African pop, many of these names may already be familiar to you, but this would be great for anyone looking for a strong introduction to the style, or just for a pleasantly structured collection to put on and groove out on... Recommended!"
