Awesome Tapes From Africa
A collection of records from the Awesome Tapes From Africa label, which was started by Brian Shimkovitz in 2006 when Shimkovitz was on a Fulbright scholarship in Ghana. In Ghana he became hooked on the cassette culture of the region. Street vendors hawked West African recordings in myriad genres, from highlife to African disco, old left-field soul to curious local pop.
