Hello, my name is Nick and back in the 1980's I started to collect African music. I found that music available in the shops here was a bit limited and so I started to get friends, relatives and anyone else who was visiting Africa to bring me back what they could and it was nearly always on cassette with a few records now and again. Nowadays records and cassettes have disappeared from our shops, replaced by the CD. However, even today those CD's you find in our shops account for only a tiny fraction of Africa's musical output. There, the cassette still remains the format on which most music was and is available. This website is one of the very few sources of information about the huge majority of albums which have only ever been released on cassette. I hope you enjoy browsing through the music and information on my site and look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Nick
