African Rebel Music: Roots Reggae And Dancehall

This compilation features 18 tracks by artists from 10 African countries, all very distinct in their style, mixing in their local flavours. These artists are the heroes of a new generation of African pop music that has long surpassed the usual World Music stars still being celebrated in Europe. The sound and lyrics of their music represent the feeling of an urban Africa in the 21st Century. With so many Jamaican Reggae artists singing about Africa it is refreshing to finally hear Reggae music by the next generation of African musicians. This exciting collection really uncovers the fact that Reggae is alive and kicking in Africa and as powerful, popular and widespread as it is in Jamaica. The tracks bounce and explode into a proclamation of stories of relationships, society and politics.
