This CD was released in October of last year, but I still can't get it out of my head (not that I want it to be) Great, solid, breathing album. Love Baaba Maal's Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am. The rhythms pulsate and the vocals grab me deep within. Love the guest stars -- Sade, Res, Meshell Ndegeocello, Nile Rodgers, Macy Gray, Kelis, Talib Kweli, Les Nubians, etc. They all add a certain touch to the vibe of the LP. Plus, all proceeds from the album go towards fighting AIDS in Africa. An even greater reason to love it. I recommend picking up this album if ever you're in the record store. You won't be disappointed.

i love this album!! Are you hip to femi's father fela? even better!! Though this comp is more accessible to those not familiar with afrobeat. Not a sleeper on this comp!! I had the priviledge of seeing femi last year in concert, incredible!!

I just currently discovered Fela's music. I really got into the Afrobeat sound around last year (thanks to this CD) and I am in love with the lush compositions and prepossessing rhythms. I've been digging in the crates for a lot of Afrobeat/World music lately.
