Customer Reviews:

A nice mix of African artists.......2003-04-23

This is african reggae. It is not the cutting edge stuff you will find coming out of Kingston alleyways. Instead, it is the kind of make-you-feel-good reggae that you want to listen to when you are on the beach and it is hot outside. It is an excellent introduction to an otherwise lacking gendre in world music. The artists include Lucky Dube, O'Yaba, Baaba Maal, Dr. Victor, et al. All in all, give it a chance if you can find it.

I did not quiet like not all african reggae stars were on it so it is just not worth the buying.
