Query: best of its genre

This is a huge improvement on Momo's previous compilations, which suffered from occasionally straying into anonymous muzak-lite territory. "Africanesque" offers a good selection of roots music from several different African countries, as well as a decent sampling of quality European fusion. The unifying focus is contemporary feelgood music, and the various styles employed avoid monotony. A good purchase as a starter in "African music" (that huge, unclassifiable category) for your next party, but it works just as well for the solo listener. Forget Deep Forest and the recent 1 Giant Leap: they're exercises in "world music" that reduce everything to a uniform sludge; "Africanesque" simply allows music of discrete categories to play off and complement each other.
