Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 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+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

Mbaraka Mwinshehe & Orchestra Super Volcano: Zanzibara 9: Masika: 7 (B+)
Not collecting this because it's a little too primitive and the horns veer towards ruining it. The main attraction is Mwinshehe's guitar of course. On a side note, Volumes 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 of this 9 volume Zanzibara series are Taarab or other non-muziki wa dansi comps. Volume 3 was a neutral by my estimation. I have Volumes and 5 and 7 but have not yet assigned them a final grade. [Volumes 5 and 7 ended up being the keepers in the series.]
