"During the musical explosion of the 1950s, ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey traversed Sub-Saharan Africa to record a breadth of songs across many styles. This compilation contains some of the best he came up with ... This compilation tactfully condenses the music of numerous cultural and national identities into a meager two hours. It's worth your time".

"Anybody interested in the earlier roots of the great East and Central African electric band musics of later years needs this killer set in its beautiful clothing".

"This is a treat for fans of rough'n'rootsy Congolese rumba, capturing the moment the bands reinterpreting Cuban music (guitars replacing horn sections and pianos) started forging their own unique strand of son i Congo, Kenya, Zanzibar and Tanganyika. Newly remastered, the dynamic sounds the revered ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey recorded still sound gloriously fresh, 60-plus years on".
