Africa - 50 Years of Music

VINYL FORMAT. When the 18xCD box set Africa – 50 Years of Music was released last year, the acclaim was loud, hearty, and near-unanimous. "Monumental," declared The New York Times. "Incredible," exclaimed The Nation. NPR described it as, "a delightful and dizzying panorama." Now comes the vinyl edition: five LPs enclosed in a deluxe box with a lavishly illustrated 32 page book, featuring historic recordings by ET Mensah, Salif Keita, Orchestre Baobab, Mulatu Astatke, Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo de Cotonou, Ali Farke Toure, Africando, Konono No. 1 and 22 other great African artists.
