From Nairobi's live music venues to the Turkana overland safaris, this guide introduces all of the country's highlights. Also included are details of the best places to stay, eat and drink, to suit every budget.
Narrative driven, providing background and context on the music of 70 countries and regions, ranging from salsa to soukous, cajun to calypso, rai to qawwali. Set up in regional chapters. Each explanatory chapter is followed by a discography, with very short reviews of what the editors consider the very best music in the category. Various musicians are spotlighted in sidebars.
In a part of the world where you truly depend on your guidebook, the Rough Guide is designed to work as a life support system and cultural companion whether you're here on business, taking a short holiday, or on an overland trip. Covering the entire region from Cape Verde to Cameroon, the Rough Guide finds off-the-beaten path attractions and writes up facilities in places that are barely on the map, as well as giving you practical advice on how to survive -- and enjoy -- cities such as Lagos, Abidjan, Dakar and Yaounde. The Observer, London: "Informative, erudite, useful and insightful." Financial Times: "The best guidebook."
