    Not your average rough guide
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2015*

This exceptional collection includes 12 great African songs that the editor (or editors) simply loved. There seems no particular rhyme or reason to the selections--there are Afro-Cuban selections, Mbaqanga selections, all different genres from different parts of sub-Saharan Africa--but the music is uniformly good and entertaining. This is also the cheapest Rough Guide music series CD I have seen--the linear notes are minimal (the CD notes suggest you visit their website to learn more) and there is no bonus CD. Basically, Rough Guide just printed a bunch of songs the compilers loved. And there are really good, you will probably love them too.Not a CD with a good overview of any particular style of music, just a very entertaining CD.

    Not For Dancing, Or For Listening.
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 7, 2015*

I'm a DJ. I play 'world music' for the most part. I saw this album and bought it on spec as, being on vinyl, I guessed it was produced at least in part for DJ use. Sadly, apart from this being a rather poor selection and certainly not, as the blurb claims, great for dancing it's also very poorly mastered for vinyl, if at all. Yes, I know these are rare old tunes and, being African, we should expect some dimunition in quality but most of the stuff on here is so tinny sounding you'd be driving the crowd out of the room. Worse than useless, let's hope that it's being a limited edition will mean some daft sod will buy it off me on Discogs.

    Groovy 'Durban Road' jive
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 3, 2017*

Eclectic,experimental in spite of novelty names of some artists such as Yam Yam and ..&His Philosophers National.Definitely worth checking out for tracks like Hasabe,Homa Imenizidia, essentials Durban Road and Degoo.Instrumental in the latter sounds similar to that used by a latter day Senegalese musician
