Reviews

Rhapsody

Cuban rhythms, Congolese rumba, shimmying guitars, talking horns and jazz griots make this compilation of lush, grooving Afro-pop a must-have. It's a treasure trove of tracks from Mali, Guinea, Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Artists include world-music stars Orchestra Baobab and Nigerian poet Celestine Ukwu. Guinea's great Bembeya Jazz band gets wild on "Whiskey Soda," Dexter Johnson and the International Band soak the Cuban classic "El Manicero" with some Senegalese sauce, and Ghana's Super Sweet Talks takes "The Lord's Prayer" psychedelic.
