6 mixes taggedwest africa

West Africa is one of the world’s most fertile musical breeding grounds. From the classical and highly technical Malians to the smooth grooves of Senegal and funky Nigeria, west Africa produces high-calibre guitarists with styles as distinctive as their cultures. This 11-track, hour-long mix includes cuts by such masterful musicians as Djelimady Tounkara, Super Rail Band and Orchestra Baobab.

Ten tracks including music by Alhaji K. Frimpong, Bembeya Jazz National and Docteur Nico & Orchestre African Fiesta. (I don't speak French and would be grateful is someone told me what the track with the 'Crocodile' is about.)

8 tracks including music by African Brothers Int. Band, Fela, Amadou/Mariam, and Rob.

Eight tracks including music by Fela Kuti, Gilberto Gil and Joni Haastrup.

Nine tracks including music by Toumani Diabate, Tinariwen, and Steve Coleman.
