The tremendous variety of music that was pressed to shellac discs
on the continent of Africa is truly astonishing. Popular songs,
topical songs, work songs, comic songs, songs of worship, ritual,
dance and praise--the sheer range of musical styles resists any
easy categorization, just as African geography itself resists
boundaries. "Opika Pende: Africa at 78 rpm" is a four-disc
collection featuring 100 tracks taken from rare 78 rpm recordings
of African music--from 1909 to the mid-1960s--none of which have
ever been issued on CD until now. Across these 100 tracks,
traditional music stands side by side with popular music as
traditional culture coexists with so-called modernity. Pan-African
in scope and wildly diverse, "Opika Pende" is a testament to the
deep riches found in early recorded music across the continent. In
2013, this set was nominated for Best Historical Album by the
Grammy Awards.
