A 28-track, two-CD set celebrating the twentieth birthday of the Nick Gold’s all-conquering world music label. It kicks off with the Buena Vista Social Club anthem ‘Chan Chan’ and features BVSC royalty like Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González and Omara Portuondo. There are long-deleted tracks (from Shirati Jazz and Cheikh Lô), unreleased takes from Afel Bocoum, Ali Farka Touré, Toumani Diabate, Song 4 and Candela, and some old faves from Baobab, Los Zafiros and the Afro Cuban All Stars. Possibly Crouch End’s greatest ever gift to the planet.
