Various - Sound DAfrique

Review by Wellington da Silva David

Sound D'Afrique is a vibrant and lively album by Various artists that showcases the diverse and rich musical traditions of Africa. The album features a wide range of genres, including Afrobeat, highlife, juju, and soukous, among others, and highlights the unique rhythms, melodies, and vocals of each style.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Samba" by Golden Sounds, which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song is followed by other standout tracks, such as "Yako" by Loketo, "Oyele" by Kanda Bongo Man, and "African Woman" by Amadou Balake, which showcase the artists' impressive musical skills and their ability to blend different genres and styles seamlessly.
