Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Various Artists - East of Africa: Pioneers of African Popular Music: 4 stars
Another great Dakar Sound compilation, this time of earlier Congolese rumba. Leans towards the Nico/Rochereau/Kalle African Jazz side of things, which I personally prefer to the Franco OK Jazz alternative.
