"For a long time, the most popular world music was anything that came from Africa. Afropop, if you like, is back in vogue these days. The albums feature exciting and hitherto mostly overlooked recordings from the 1970s, the heyday of Afropop, when musicians like the legendary Fela Kuti crossed local folklore and the art of shimmering guitar playing and lively melodies with Western influences like James Brown's gritty soul and Miles Davis' free-spirited jazz. Spectacular samplers like "Nigeria 70" or the magnificent "Ethiopiques" series give a glimpse of the treasures still waiting to be discovered there." (from spiegel. de)
