Africa Top Success Ils font l'Afrique
It is difficult to summarize 45 years of African music in 30 songs … Nevertheless, the African All Stars compilation lets express all the beauty and the wealth of the African music through many kinds: afro beat, afro-jazz, afro-pop, funk, rock, pop …
Representing the diversity and the eclecticism of the continent, the album includes monuments of the African stages: Tony Allen (drummer for Fela Kuti, considered as one of the co-founders of the afro beat), The Funkees, Habib Koité, Francis Bebey (at the origin of the beginning of Manu Dibango’s career), Femi Kuti (the son of Fela who proves thus that talent can be hereditary), or the Malian Tinariwen Tuareg blues famous group.
However, the African All Stars also gives a good place to artists who, even young, already show us exceptional qualities: Moh! Kouyaté (the Jimi Hendrix of Conakry), the Fantasma group, the South Africans of Cape Town Effects and many more!
