"The latest offering in Marabi's Musiques Metisses series focuses on the continent's west coast. From Nouakchott to Luanda, from the island of Cape Verde to the shores of Central Africa, traditional African music has crossed paths with Western music to give rise to highly creative musical combinations. Afro beat, reggae hip-hop, rock'n blues, morna, makossa, samba, mbalax, coladera, saudade & rumba -- the music of the future is taking shape along the coasts of Africa and in its port towns." Artists include Bonga, Teofilo Chantre, Akendengue, Cesaria Evora, King Ayisoba, Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara, Les Espoirs De Coronthie, Ba Cissoko, Malouma, Mamadou Barry, Gangbe Brass Band, Lura, Sally Nyolo, Sia Tolno, El Hadj Ndiaye, Anne Marie Zie, Meiway and Bembeya Jazz.

Volume 2 of Marabi's collection of African music. "From the Maghreb to southern Africa, from the Gulf of Guinea to the islands of the Indian Ocean, the music of the African continent makes up an always-changing patchwork of sounds, colors and rhythms. It can be acoustic or electric, more or less rooted in the tradition, it can festive, it can be dance compelling or trance enticing, it can be meditative, leading to contemplation; but it is always marked by an incredible richness. This collection by Marabi presents a selection of the label's artists (singers, composers-songwriters, instrumentalists) who are part of this creative effervescence."
