The Rough Guide To West African Gold features music produced in sub-Saharan West Africa from the late 1950s up to the early 1980s - a golden era in African music. Highlife guitars and horns from Ghana and Nigeria, Guinean big band music from the state run Syliphone label, early Senegalese mbalax with its tasty Latin influences and the funky Afrobeat sound that shakes the hippest dancefloors across the globe, this is the big beat of West Africa!
