5 stars Super
An excellent compilation. Belafonte must be very proud of his work and it shows in the way this box set has been released. A must!

5 stars An incredible testimony to the art of music!
This exquisite box set is a true testimony to the love, time, and efforts of Harry Belafonte. It is a beautifully packaged, incredibly complete history of African music from its roots. The accompanying book with the obvious attention that was paid to every detail is a joy to peruse. The accompanying DVD is informative and enjoyable. This box set is a treasure to everyone who is interested in a piece of history. Mr. Belafonte has definitely left his mark, the listener can feel his presence and his love of the project throughout. This is one of the few box sets that I can say is truly worth the cost!
