Album
Claiming the music on a CD is the very best of an entire continent is quite grand - and very hard to live up to. Unfortunately, this disc really doesn't live up to it. Indeed, it would be almost impossible when the biggest global name here is Johnny Clegg. He's a star, but definitely not A-list. Instead, this is a compilation drawn, at least in part, if not entirely, from the label's catalog of African music. Various Artists 29-03-2019. Total duration:1 h 14 min. Afrika Mamas. The Very Best of Africa. West African Blues Project. Composers: RAMON GOOSE - Modou Toure - Abdoulaye Samb. Privacy Preference Center.
