Product Description

From Amazon.com
This soundtrack to a book stands perfectly well alone, picking up some west African classics from the 1970s and '80s, when the music was finding its identity--as well as some obscure gems. This mix is close to perfect--in fact, the only clanger is the slick Parisian production from Omar Pene and Super Diamono. There's a young Youssou N'Dour with "Etoile de Dakar"--then the mature man of the '90s--in total command of his music; Salif Keita; and, of course, some classic work from the inimitable Franco. The standout, however, has to be "Etoile 2000," where fuzzed-out, psychedelic guitar meets Afropop, and the percussion adds dub touches; you've never heard anything like this before. A compilation that goes behind the curtain of African music and uncovers the real roots gems. --Chris Nickson

4.0 out of 5 stars a golden age indeed!, 2 Nov 2004
By Dara Wyer (Dublin Ireland) - See all my reviews
A simply fantastic collection of sounds from a great period of African music. If I have a complaint, it is that the focus should have remained on the Senegalese music- Gambian and Congolese music deserve separate collections!!
I am fairly familiar with the performers but a few undiscovered gems are included that will send me off in new directions. If you like quality African music- get this cd.
