So much sweet nice music, day by day, that I feel sometimes like a child opening a surprise bag. But I have at last not always the time to listen to each what you have posted, so that I appreciate the compilations of your favorites very much. Thank You for all the work, really a big present to the world and all people who love african music.

Great stuff Moos. Really appreciate it. Is this all stuff you have previously posted or are there some 'bonus tracks' here. Just that on a quick listen not everything was familiar.
