CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The Rough Guide To West African Gold features music produced in sub-Saharan West Africa from the late 1950s up to the early 1980s - a golden era in African music. Highlife guitars and horns from Ghana and Nigeria, Guinean big band music from the state run Syliphone label, early Senegalese mbalax with its tasty Latin influences and the funky Afrobeat sound that shakes the hippest dancefloors across the globe, this is the big beat of West Africa!

CD ReviewsHIGHLIFE MUSIC FROM WEST AFRICA COMPUTERJAZZMAN | Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States | 11/25/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "A NICE COMPILATION OF WEST AFRICAN (MALI, SIERRA LEONE, SENEGAL, NIGERIA, GUINEA, AND GHANA) "POPULAR" MUSIC RECORDED BETWEEN THE 50'S-80'S. A STYLE OF MUSIC KNOWN AS "HIGHLIFE", WHICH IS ANOTHER TERM FOR POP MUSIC. A LOT OF WESTERN INFLUENCE HEARD HERE, FROM CALYPSO SOUNDS TO FUNK, SKA, BIG BAND, AND MEMPHIS SOUL."
