This multi-layered album presents a fine selection of African acoustic textures from across the sub-continent, featuing the most recognised and celebrated artists, from the refined to the raw . . .

This compilation of African artists features performances in a variety of both traditional and modern styles, from the Zulu musician Shiyani Ngcobo's maskanda-based "Udadewetha," to the South African singer Aura Msimang's sunny, Dave Matthews-like "Rebana Ba Lesotho." Highlights include the rapid-fire rhythms and silky harmonies of Mozambique musician Jose Mucavel's marrabenta "Sou Ou Que Sou", while the Madagascar singer and guitarist Eric Manana's "Tambazako" blends African and Caribbean rhythms in an irresistible, low-key mix.]]>
