This is a sampler for the important Earthworks label of England, licensed for the American market by Shanachie's subsidiary label. As such, it emphasizes the English colonial trade routes with music from Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Kenya. The Francophones are represented by a soukous cut from Zairean artist Souzy Kasseya. Good sleeve notes that are full of information on modern African music and trends, with a useful glossary of musical styles, even those not represented on the recording.
