Golden Afrique Vol.1 - Highlights of African Pop Music (1971-1983), 320 kbps
It
was the most exciting period of recent African history. From the late
1950s onwards, one African country after another gained independence.
Independence had its own literature and its own soundtrack. It was the
dawning of the golden age of African pop music. In the 1970s and early
1980s, local traditions, modern western styles and instruments combined
to create an exciting new sound that expressed the euphoria and pride of
a newfound freedom. The Golden Afrique series dives into this vast
musical ocean of and comes up with its finest, rarest pearls. The series
opens with music from Guinea, Mali, Guinea-Bissao, Gambia, Ivory Coast,
Chad and Senegal � many of the tracks are available on CD for the very
first time. Youssou N�Dour takes his first tentative steps, creating the
mbalax sound that will later spread around the world, Salif Keita
raises his golden voice, Baobab de Dakar and Bembeya Jazz National from
Conakry take the big band sound to new heights, the Super Eagles of
Gambia sing of African unity, the Amazones de Guinea form the first
all-woman big band line-up, Miriam Makeba sings in her own language from
her Guinean exile, Super Mama Djombo have to fly from Guinea to Moscow
to make their groundbreaking recordings, Maitre Gazonga from Chad has a
huge hit and disappears... Fom Afrocuban styles to local rhythms, soul
and blues influences, Golden Afrique is an exhilarating journey through
the musical history of Africa , full of sheer joy and totally danceable.

Golden Afrique Vol.2 - Highlights of African Pop Music (1956-1982), 320 kbps
A
brilliant edition The critical acclaim that was heaped on Golden
Afrique Vol.I has spurred our team of editors. They have now completed a
second volume dedicated entirely to Congolese dance music. The very
finest of performers chart the history of Central African guitar music
from African Rumba to the early forms of Soukous music. Here, then, is
the music that has conquered all of Africa, even toppling Highlife from
its throne as the pan-African party sound. From the beginnings of the
outstanding Ngoma label to Kabasele�s �Independance Cha Cha Cha� � a
1960s single that set the whole of Africa dancing � and featuring an
early recording by Manu Dibango, the ports of call on this musical
journey are the sounds of the great and the good: Tabu Ley Rochereau,
Franco, a musical heavyweight whose death was mourned across an entire
continent, Sam Mangwana, who continues to roll back the boundaries in
his indefatigable quest for new sounds and combinations, Dr. Nico, known
simply as the �god of guitar�, Nyboma, whose productions even had West
Africans dancing the Congolese Soukous

Golden Afrique Vol.3 - Highlights of African Pop Music (1939-1988), 192 kbps
Many
of the artists on this album were influenced by Black American jazz,
gospel funk and soul. Our journey begins with �Mbube� in the style of
Zulu vocal music. As the original version of the famous �The Lion Sleeps
Tonight� it is a prime example of the unpaid exploitation of Black
South African music by the western pop industry over a period of 60
years. This is followed by the Ladysmith Black Mambazo choir performing
an early hit. The lively, rhythmic jive of the townships is represented
here by West Nkosi, Sipho Mabuse and the early Mahotella Queens. We also
hear soulful pieces by and with the young Miriam Makeba and featuring
the Soul Brothers. Some musicians working in exile at this time included
Hugh Masekela and Johnny Dyani. The music of Zimbabwe is inspired by
the sound of the mbira, a traditional instrument echoed directly in the
guitar cascades of The Four Brothers and Hallelujah Chicken Run. We also
hear rhumbira and jit, rooted in Congolese rumba. From the copper belt
of Zambia comes a more Central African dance sound, represented here by
the Masasu Band, The Big Gold Six and Smokey Hangala. This exciting
compilation includes many rare gems never previously released on CD.
