From the ethnomusicologist-fascinating label Multicultural Media comes this installment of the Music of the Earth series, featuring a number of groups from Africa. The music is roughly half from Uganda, with the other half divided among Cameroon, Togo, Ghana, Mali, and Senegal. The focus is generally on the traditional forms available in the early '70s to 1980s, with a special focus on the variety of instruments employed by the musicians. (allmusic)
