Here is the fifth release in Syllart Productions' African Pearls series of compilations, this time coming from Côte d'Ivoire. A natural West African crossroads, the Ivory Coast has always been at the forefront of musical trends, be it black American music, Cuban rhythms, French pop, Mandingo lyricism, Ghanese high-life or Congolese fusions. With its 72 ethnicities, their dances and music, Côte d'Ivoire possesses a strong cultural heritage -- and since 1975, all the West-African music seems to gather in the capital of the Ivory Coast, to give birth to a timeless, exceptional music. Explore this double CD that will make you travel through Africa, and discover universes of gifted artists.

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.
