Congolese rumba from the charming blues of Mali, the guitar is definitely the queen of the tools of contemporary African music. In this Rough Guide collection, you can listen to some of the greatest guitarists in Africa and find out why these innovative musicians are considered legends in their lands. Among the artists include: Ali Farka Toure, Djelimady Tounkara, Oliver Mtukudzi, Eric Agyeman, Tinariwen, King Sunny Ade and many others. As a bonus was supported the album "Immortal Franco" tribute on the twentieth anniversary of the death, in which Syran Mbenza Kongo Rumba Ensemble brings together a host of stars to celebrate the extraordinary musical legacy of the great Congolese artist.
