Customer Reviews:

It's old timey and it has strong folk roots........2004-09-02

Well, it's old timey now and it has strong folk roots; but strictly speaking, most of it's not true African folk or traditional music.
 For one thing, the primary instrument is the guitar, which was brought to Africa by Europeans. The styles also vary considerably with West African call and response vocals mixing with popular European and American styles similar to show tunes, country music, folk ballads and more.

3-1/2 stars... early West African recordings.......2003-12-17

Rather stark, early historical recordings made for the Royal Zonophone record company by a West African singer, abroad in England in the late 1920s. Not much is known about this fella, although the use of guitar accompaniment on some of these tracks (most are sung a capella...) places him in the forefront of the development of guitar-based African pop, and Nigerian juju music, in particular. For the average listener, these old recordings are probably a bit too inaccessible, but folks who are trying to seriously dig under the surface and discover some of the historical roots of the style may find these recordings quite interesting.
