Product Description

MOJO, (David Hutcheon), April 2008
(4 stars) The nation that produced such a wealth of dance grooves...crank up the soukous and get shaking.

Songlines, (Nigel Williamson), April/May 2008
(5 stars) Sublime sweet harmonies, spiralling interlocked guitars, swinging horns and infectious rhythms...a joy from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best of soukous just knocks you out, 11 Nov 2001

By	Mailian (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

A stirring tribute to the greatest music to come out of Africa by its greatest stars. This is the best compilation of soukous, great dance music, exhilarating, so diverse and yet unmistakingly identifiable. Covering a period of the 60s to 1999, with the excellent Rough guide presentation, this cd and the Rough guide to Franco are the best of african music that just knock you out.
