Voices Of Africa – High-Life & Other Popular Music (aka Gold Coast Saturday Night) ... LP Nonesuch, Late 1950s. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Although most Nonesuch Explorer sessions were ethnographic ones, recorded in the field by the label's engineers – this one's a studio session, recorded in New York by a group that's reputedly from Ghana, but which seems to be kind of a "fake" one from our perspective.
