In 2010, against all odds, Angola Soundtrack Vol.1 was awarded the German Record Critics’ Prize in the category ‘Black music’. This victory was all the sweeter for its triumph over the predicted winner, Aloe Blacc ‘s multi platinium record, ‘Good Things’.
Many were surprised that the award was handed to a compilation that covered obscure music, but it didn’t surprise the team behind Analog Africa who believed such acclaim should have come much earlier. Since discovering the music of Angola 15 years ago, styles such Kazucuta, Rebita and Semba have become an addiction for Samy Ben Redjeb, the compiler, who proclaimed a serious warning in the first edition liner notes: ‘Listening to these tracks may cause addiction and provoke heavy rotation!’
