This diversity is a result of the great cultural, geographical, ethnic and religious variety of the continent,but also from the coexistence of ancient rural cultures along with young, urban, vigorous ones. Contempory African music is also a product of external influences, especially afro-american music. since the fifties, african musicians have been fascinated by a progression of cuban sounds, jazz,reggae and hip-hop. The african music that traveled to America is now returning to enrich the music of its origins ina fascinating cultural round trip. African musician have become part of the international musical circuit. They share the stage and their studio with musicicians from varying cultural background.In this compilation we present a sample ,inveitably limited in number, of some of the sounds of contemporay African artistes, who, withoutlosing their identities, offer us their new, universal voice.
