'Gilles Peterson in Africa' touches down in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cameroon, South Africa, and the Cape Verde islands with considerable contributions from giants of the contemporary club scene and remixing royalty such as Masters at Work, Carl Craig, IG Culture, Thievery Corporation and Blaze alongside purveyors of 21st Century Afrofunk such as Antibalas, Dennis Ferrer and Wunmi.
Artists featured such as Miriam Makeba, Cesaria Evora and Abdullah Ibrahim will already be known to many while the likes of Letta Mbulu bubble under, and a few are either totally new or totally obscure, as is the way with Mr. Peterson.
The artwork for 'Gilles Peterson in Africa' was designed by GHARIOKWU LEMI who provided the distinctive sleeves for 25 Fela albums over a 19 year period.
Gilles knows our roots began in Africa and he's paying his respects in his own style and fashion.
