Description:

Unknown dance music that rocked East Africa in the 70's! The album features 27 tracks of dance music on two CDs, including Benga, known as the popular music of the Luo people, zilipendwa, which flourished in Tanzania, Afro-funk with a strong flavor of Indian Ocean music, and dance beats strongly influenced by Congo-style rumba and Afrobeat. The two CDs contain 27 tracks of dance music. The album is accompanied by detailed liner notes in English, but also includes a Japanese commentary. This is a compilation that will touch the heartstrings of not only African music fans looking for rare sounds, but also all dance music fans!
