Review:Compiled by Nigel Williamson, this 26 track double album is a whistlestop tour of the last 40 years of African music. All the highlights are here from Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba to Fela Kuti and his son Femi, to Angelique Kidjo and Salif Keita. The only quibble is that there a a few live versions which spoils it a little.
