Fela Kuti & Egypt 80 —
ODOO – Overtake Don Overtake Overtake ... CD Shanachie, Late 80s. Used ... $5.99

Voice Of Lightness – Congo Classics 1961 to 1977 ... CD Sterns (UK), 1960s/1970s. Used 2CD ... $19.99
Lovely work from Tabu Ley, aka Rochereau – a singer who definitely earns the "voice of lightness" title on this set! Tabu's style isn't light in a soft of mellow way – but it's got a wonderfully floating sort of quality – a way of staying on top of the percussion and ... read more CD
