Customer Reviews

All this and a book too?
Finally it seems that this artist - perhaps the most important and genuinely popular African musician of the last half century - is getting the treatment he deserves. The tracks here are all arranged chronologically, starting with his first ever session in 1953 and ending (this Vol. anyway) with a powerfully poignant track from 1980. But the whole thing flows, it's not musicological or academic, and everything just kind of hangs together in a way that makes sense for ears, the mind, the body and all the other parts that music can reach. Plus you get really great little book with some photos and words that nail it down and give you the context. This is what CD compilations SHOULD be like. And there's a Vol. 2 on the way? Too good!
