The Rough Guide to African Blues (Third Edition)

Stunning music from various countries in the African continent, with some tracks so hypnotically compelling you don’t want them to end.For a mouth-watering taster, track 2: Jef Jel by the beguiling, husky-voiced Amadou Diagne from Senegal.The unexpected extra disc of the smouldering debut album Anewal/Walking Man by Alhousseini Anivolla is very welcome, giving this thirsty listener more wondrous desert blues of which to drink my fill.Lovely music, nicely packaged.
