In February 2002, the "Day in the Life of Africa" project saddled 100 photo professionals with documenting the incredible diversity of the African continent in just 24 hours. The results of the 14th installment in the best-selling "Day in the Life of..." series were published in an extensive book that included a forward from Archbishop Desmond Tutu. For this musical companion, 14 tracks were chosen to trace the photographers' journeys across the continent, and illustrate in song its numerous distinctions of sound. From the Algerian pop of Takfarinas and Habib Koit?'s nimble Malian folk to Cape Verde's godmother of the morna style, C?saria vora, A Day in the Life of Africa travels thousands of miles with each song. While the collection might dwell a bit too much on the region's modern pop and fusion-oriented traditions, it is still an effective overview of Africa's rich musical and cultural heritage. ~ Johnny Loftus   Technical Info Release Date : 12/10/2002 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : 99003 Label : BMG Heritage Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00744659900327    Product Image
