Pierre Akendengue
Verité d'Afrique (Lusafrica)
$18.99
The 19th album by one of Africa's most interesting artists (says Cliff), recorded in part, in a shanty town in Libreville, Gabon with the remaining tracks were finished up in Paris. While continuing to mine a traditional African vein, Akendengué also branches out in new musical directions, working with Cape Verdean producer Nado Andrade (best known for his role as pianist and musical director to Cesaria Evora), and even delving into reggae. However to please his fans, Akendengué also slips in an old favorite, "Considérable," amongst his new material. Originally written in 1972, the song's lyrics about pan-African unity remain as topical as ever.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
