Impossible to Disappoint.......2007-01-24
Would like to confirm what all the other reviewers are saying. This is a brilliant album of breezy, extremely danceable afropop tunes. Great melodies, lovely singing, flowing guitarwork. For veterans and newbies of african music alike (although chances are you're a veteran to even come across Orchestra Makassy).
Exquisite!.......2005-12-01
This definitely is one of the best CDs I have ever listened to (and now own - thanks to Amazon). This is the real deal, all songs are ORIGINAL Makassy recordings - no 'mordenized' renditions, and no filler material. Excellent artistic quality expected of Mzee Makassy when he teamed up with the likes of Fan Fan Mosese and Ongala Remmy. 100% pure, authentic enjoyment from the first to the last track...and I'm talking as an 'expert' on East, Central and Southern African music (I own at least 200 African CDs and grew up in the region).
Legends of East Africa Orchestra Makassy.......2005-05-06
This is one of the finest records ever to come out of Africa, and is one of the planet's finest popular music recording. I have Agwaya (original LP) and have been searching for these guys on CD for years. An absolute must have.
Best Highlife album EVER.......2005-04-04
I'm a long-time fan of African music. I've been searching for a CD version of my all-time favorite album "Agwaya" by Orchestra Makassy. (Virgin records) "Legends of East Africa: The Original Recordings by Orchestra Makassy" is it. If only we had more work from this amazing ensemble of musicians. I recommend it highly.

finnaly released, what a great album.......2005-03-08
This cd is one of the best albums of all time.Unbelievable that it took 24 years to get this music on cd.The album came out as an LP close before the CD was introduced.The 8 first titles are from the original agwaya album and are of a level african music you probably never heard before.If you like african music, do yourself a big favor and buy this one.The only weak spot on this cd is the end, when I have to press on the play button of my cd player again.

Orchestra Makassi.......2006-02-17
I completely wore out the Vinyl album and have been looking for this classic on CD for years. This is some of the finest music I have ever heard and is a hit whenever I play it. I look forward to the clean sound from CD and finally hearing this music again. Worth every penny!
