The Rough Guide To Psychedelic Africa is a world music compilation album originally released in 2012 featuring 60s and 70s African popular music. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series, the album contains two discs: an overview of the genre on Disc One, and a "bonus" Disc Two highlighting Victor Uwaifo. Disc One features three Nigerian tracks, two Guinean, and one each from Benin, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal, Ghana, & Mali. The compilation was compiled by Dominic Raymond-Barker and Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[1][2]
Critical reception
The album was met with mixed to positive reviews, with criticism focusing on the title. Chris Nickson of AllMusic called the use of the term "psychedelia" "elastic".[4] Robin Denselow of The Guardian wrote in the same vein, saying it was "more good-time dance music than freak-out,"[5] while Richard Gehr of Spin Magazine said it was "less Hendrix than 'Mystic Moods.'".[3]
