This is positively the best introduction to African music! Contains great hits from masters like Youssou N'Dour, Franco, Kanda Bongo Man, Ali Farke Toure, Baaba Maal... This CD opened up a whole new genre of music for me. Irresistible tunes with an ethnic flavour.

If you like this CD, check out these other great titles on the same (Music Club) label:

- No easy walk to freedom - South African music

- The very best of Ladysmith Black Mambazo

- Youssou N'Dour Hey You! The Essential Collection

- Lightning over the river: Congolese soukous

- Rapture: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

- Latino Fiesta

- Cores do Brasil series

This CD is a must. The music is a good alternative to zoloft or paxil. It is imposible to be depressed listening to it. I first heared in a African Import store in San Diego and immediatly went out and bought it and now I want more. Everybody I've played it for loves it too. I never thought about contemporary african music before...it is great! Play it next time you have company and everyone will think you're very cool.
