Solid collection of African artists in a variety of styles. Mostly well-known artists (Baaba Maal, Oumou Sangare,, Cesaria Evora, Ray Lema, King Sunny Ade, etc.) but a few you might not be familiar with. Love it, love it, love it. One star each track. Close your eyes and hit play, whatever you choose will be worth it.
