AMG Review of Nu Afro-Beat Experience

Sean Westergaard
All Music Guide

Shanachie presents the sounds of modern Afro-beat with Nu Afro-Beat Experience. Most of these artists stick to the basic blueprint created by Fela Kuti, but with more modern production. Others add varying degrees of other musical influences, like Tony Allen's incorporation of hip-hop or Jagunlabi's Afro-house sound.
