"This is the second annual sampler disc which promotes the Africa Fete concert held each year at Kennedy Center. 1999's festival featured blues performer Taj Mahal w/ kora player Toumani Diabate from Mali, Senegal's Baaba Maal, ToumaniDiabate in Kora duet with Ballake Sissoko, kora player Kaouding Cissoko, and Oliver Mtukudzi from Zimbabwe. Each artist offers a single from their latest album as well as a bonus track only available on this release. Its a great value! All the artists are excellent and the recordings are clean but not over-produced. Enjoy!"
