   ▓████▓▌       As vintage recordings go, this is like striking           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       gold: some remarkable music - studio recordings,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       not done in the field - from the late '20s to the         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       early '50s, from all around Africa. Of course, the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       24 tracks here aren't even the tip of a very              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       extensive iceberg, since a great deal of recording        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       was done in Africa throughout the period, and music       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       industries developed in plenty of countries,              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       especially South Africa, which is well represented        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       here, not only with the concertina bands (Will            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Gumede is a special delight), but also a pair of          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       1938 tracks from the unfortunately named Darktown         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Strutters, who offer some superb harmony singing in       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       a Mills Brothers style over sparse piano                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       accompaniment. There's also plenty of material from       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       West Africa, with the vocal dexterity of Hadji            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Amusa & Hadki Mustafa a particular delight. They          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       were recorded in Lagos, as were the classily              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       monikered Lagos Mozart Orchestra (real name:              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Calabar Brass Band), who sound as if they've spent        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       time with the Salvation Army. But connections are         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       part of the joy of this record ù the fiddle and           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       banjo accompanying Al Ustadh Umar Awadh Ban's             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       recording sound far more Appalachian than East            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       African. The Arabic musical influence in East             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Africa is obvious in several of the tracks here,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       never more so than on those by singer Sitti Binti         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Saad, a remarkable talent who deserved to be more         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       widely heard, exploring the taarab tradition. The         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       range covered is incredible, the quality of the           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       music is high throughout (a good job on the               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       remastering too - the crackles are at a minimum),         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and this disc offers a tempting introduction to           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       what must be a thrilling archive of African music.        ▓▌
