Festival International Nuits d'Afrique -Compilation 2007

This compilation will guide you through an expansive far-reaching sound adventure filled with ear-opening melodies. Of course, these carefully selected numbers were chosen on their strong individual musical merits, but also in hope that their powerful «world music» origins will help rupture old barriers, not to mention help listeners forge new cultural relationships and friendships, as lofty as that goal may appear. From explosive Latin American percussions, by way of exotic Caribbean melodies, you’ll discover a sizeable tide of talented local and international artists.

Skipping from one culture to another, from one tempo to another, and from one language to the next, we trust you’ll appreciate its remarkable diversity and the full range of styles. As an exemplary testament to peace and openness, the Nuits d’Afrique Festival is once again illuminated by a universal light.  May this year’s festival, and its accompanying compilation, be your passport to a promising future.
