Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars The Genre is called Maskanda. .......2006-07-03

Great CD of Mostly Maskanda (Zulu "traditional" music). As a corrective to the previous review- ALL of these artists are from South Africa (The Republic of..), and most are Zulu. Very Danceable, and also representing a period piece released during the twighlight of the Apartheid Era and coinciding with a renewed global interest in "World Beat" Music. Uplifting and inspiring- esp. the tracks by Buthelezi.

4 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2001-05-01

This was actually the first cd of African music I ever bought. I personally think it's great! However, if you've been listening to Putamayo's stuff that has been coming out in the past few years you may be somewhat disappointed. Most of this music is from the South of the continent and bears very little resemblance to the west african stuff you see now days.... However, on a positive note... If you really like spirituals and gospel music, I think you'll find a great deal of that same flavor in this CD.
