Unwired: Africa is an essential collection of acoustic music from one of the world's great musical powerhouses. Uncluttered by technology and overproduction, and featuring many of Africa's leading artists, the collection emphasises the pure sound of some of the continent's most inspiring musical traditions, from Malian desert blues to South African jazz, and features virtuoso performances on kora (African harp), balafon (xylophone), guitars and vocals.
Produced by WORLD MUSIC NETWORK in association with AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, NICOS and NEW INTERNATIONALIST.
