Contains hard to find R&B, Pop, Highlife, Palm-wine, Jùjú and choral music recorded between 1967 & 1972" (from liner notes). Includes tracks from from Mali, Somalia, Kenya, Zambia, Sierra Leone, others. "Dense propulsive funky drumming, killer old soul jangle riffs, and growled and crooned, sexed-up vocals, complete with JB style "HEY!"s... [also] crooned ballads with simple shuffling rhythms, fluttery flutes and a deep warm velvety voice, festive joyous celebratory jams, with wildly strummed guitars, lush vocal harmonies, wild percussion, dark languorous afroblues; every track here is a gem, some funky and upbeat, others moody and mellow, so fantastic.
