Kwanzaa is an African-American harvest festival that takes place each year from December 26 through January 1st. This CD is the second in a series of releases that showcase high-energy music performed by talented musicians from around the African diaspora. You will hear outstanding songs from many countries, including Haiti, Zaire, Brazil, Cuba, and the U.S.--sung in many languages, played to diverse rhythms, and all unified by the common bonds of joy and cultural pride. The accompanying booklet explains the roots of Kwanzaa and the meaning of the holiday. It also includes some excellent recipes for cooking up a Karamu (African Feast). Unlike other records that are tied to a certain season, this is one CD you will certainly enjoy year round. --Jeff Grubb
