A celebration of the talent and diversity of the women of Africa. Including artists you probably know (Angelique Kidjo, Khadja Nin), plus a good showcase for newer artists. Rich, varied, and wonderful stuff. Play it all, my dears and read the notes for extra interesting info. 1. Jazzy and mid-tempo w/touches of South African pop. Nice. 2. Slow intro becomes a sexy Afro/Brazilian/European sound. 3. Playful and bright w/an Afro-Portuguese sway. 4. Rich anti-AIDS anthem in the South African tradition. 5. Lively strings/percussion/vocals. A fun, catchy track. 6. Slower w/a contemporary sound & a sense of longing. 7. Delicious jazz w/a slightly retro feel & great vocals. 8. Dramatic vocals, great percussion, downtempo & passionate. 9. Midtempo w/chorus/perc/strings & a catchy melody. 10. Tragic ballad w/rich Arabic vocals & a delicate feeling. 11. Midtempo modern Afro-Euro pop w/wonderful vox. 12. Wonderful female “Ladysmith-esque” track. Too short! 5/2004 | ||
