World of Rhetoric Sam Perry

Not an old-fashioned retro-compilation, this 2CD set presents a cross section of the whole music cosmos of exemplary African grooves. Next to the classics by Baba Maal, Boubacar Traore, Mory Kante, Tiken Jah Fakoly & Rachid Taha, it presents many other singers, some who are only famous in their homeland, like Kumba Sira Koita, Nathalie Makoma, Mariem Hassan or Coumba Gawlo.
