"A result of the collision of highlife, rock and soul as well as Ghana's tradition and culture, the two discs feature thirty-three previously un-reissued songs...", "Traces of Western rock and soul -- particularly Santana and James Brown -- can be heard amid the traditional styles and joyously burbling highlife guitars.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "There's an indelible sense of pride, freedom and discovery bubbling through these joyous tracks."

Solid Africa anthology series explores Ghana and its churning sea of polyrhythms, chanted vocals, and funk undertones.
