Don't look now - it's creepy album covers! This is the sort of thing my brother will really enjoy. The one on the left has the excuse, one supposes, of being German. Some others are horrifying in that way only albums from the 70s can be. And - there's a Kenny Loggins three-fer!

Some African Music
Various Artists: The Indestructible Beat of Soweto
An excellent collection of Township Jive tunes.Juluka: Johnny Clegg & Juluka collection
My favorite Juluka record, Ubuhle Bemvelo - their magnificent collection of rocked up Zulu folk songs - is out of print and hard to find. This collection will have to do.Angelique Kidjo: Oremi
Funky Afro-pop. "Itche Koutche" is the best tune ever.- West Nkosi: 16 original sax jive hits
West Nkosi's infectious grooves are Township Jive at its finest. Various Artists: Guitar Paradise of East Africa
A sparkling collection of bands from Kenya, Zaire, and Tanzania playing in the Jit and Benga styles.Miriam Makeba: World of Miriam Makeba
The Grand Dame of African music in the United States, Miriam Makeba is perhaps better known here as a politically active folk singer than as an early pioneer of Afro-pop and township jazz.Oumou Sangare: Oumou
Impressive Malian singer and songwriter.Tinariwen: Amassakoul
More music from Mali. This band is of the Sarahan Touareg tribe. They are idolized as guitar gods in Mali and lay down a hypnotizing groove.
