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 Cameroonian artist Maloko. Disc One features five South African tracks, four Nigerian, two Ghanaian, and one each from Cameroon and France. The release was compiled by Dominic Raymond-Barker and Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[1][2] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Robert Christgau[3] | rev1Score = A- | rev2 = PopMatters[4] | rev2Score = {{rating|6|10}} | rev3 = Time Out[5] | rev3Score = {{rating|4|5}} }} Gregory Heaney of AllMusic called the album "solid" and praised the World Music Network for increasing the world's funkiness.[6] Robert Christgau rewarded the release with an "A-", saying it succeeded in finding the balance between "cheap commercialism and heartfelt ambition." While "The Dean" waxed poetic on Disc Two,[3] David Maine of PopMatters pronounced it a stab at "accessibility for western ears" fallen flat. He did however call the "Afro-funk" and "Afro-pop" of Disc One worth exploring.[4] Writing for TimeOut, Lydia Jenkin labelled the album "stunning".[5] Track listingDisc One{{tracklist| extra_column = Artist (Country) | title1 = A Brand New Wayo | extra1 = Mixed Grill {{flagicon|size=15px|Nigeria}} | length1 = 5:01 | title2 = Yesu San Bra | extra2 = Pat Thomas {{flagicon|size=15px|Ghana}} | length2 = 3:51 | title3 = Come On Home | extra3 = The Lijadu Sisters {{flagicon|size=15px|Nigeria}} | length3 = 5:16 | title4 = Kazet | extra4 = Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens {{flagicon|size=15px|South Africa}} | length4 = 3:46 | title5 = Kwedini | extra5 = Yvonne Chaka Chaka {{flagicon|size=15px|South Africa}} | length5 = 4:36 | title6 = Ohue | extra6 = Sir Victor Uwaifo (Frankie Francis & Simbad edit) {{flagicon|size=15px|Nigeria}} | length6 = 5:37 | title7 = Be Africa | extra7 = Bibi Tanga & The Selenites {{flagicon|size=15px|Central African Republic}}{{flagicon|size=15px|France}} | length7 = 4:15 | title8 = Yekey Tenge | extra8 = Manu Dibango {{flagicon|size=15px|Cameroon}} | length8 = 5:57 | title9 = Dance The Body Music | extra9 = Osibisa {{flagicon|size=15px|Ghana}} | length9 = 3:48 | title10 = Tsa-oo | extra10 = Mango Groove {{flagicon|size=15px|South Africa}} | length10 = 4:15 | title11 = Oh Yeh Soweto | extra11 = Teaspoon & The Waves {{flagicon|size=15px|South Africa}} | length11 = 4:14 | title12 = Love Is A Natural Thing | extra12 = Tony Allen & The Afro Messengers {{flagicon|size=15px|Nigeria}} | length12 = 9:08 | title13 = ToiToi | extra13 = Marumo {{flagicon|size=15px|South Africa}} | length13 = 3:38 }} Disc TwoDisc Two is a re-release of Maloko's Soul on Fire. {{tracklist| title1 = In The Midnight Hour (Medley I) | extra1 = | length1 = 4:02 | title2 = Stand By Me | extra2 = | length2 = 3:22 | title3 = Wonderful World | extra3 = | length3 = 4:28 | title4 = Words of Love | extra4 = | length4 = 2:39 | title5 = In The Midnight Hour (Medley II) | extra5 = | length5 = 4:24 | title6 = Direct Me | extra6 = | length6 = 5:51 | title7 = Soul Man | extra7 = | length7 = 3:45 | title8 = Cold Sweat | extra8 = | length8 = 5:02 }} References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.worldmusic.net/network/about-us/ | title = About Us - The WMN Story | accessdate = 2013-12-21 | author = World Music Network}} 2. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.discogs.com/release/5107558 | title = Various – The Rough Guide To African Disco | accessdate = 2013-12-22 | author = Discogs}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=16019|title=Consumer Guide|first=Robert|last=Christgau|authorlink=Robert Christgau|accessdate=21 Dec 2013|publisher=MSN Music}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/171813-various-artists-the-rough-guide-to-african-disco/|title=Various Artists: The Rough Guide to African Disco|first=David|last=Maine|accessdate=21 Dec 2013|publisher=PopMatters}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10884324|title=Album review: Various, The Rough Guide to African Disco|first=Lydia|last=Jenkin|accessdate=21 Dec 2013|publisher=New Zealand Herald}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Heaney|first=Gregory|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-rough-guide-to-african-disco-mw0002487008|publisher=Allmusic|title=The Rough Guide to African Disco|accessdate=30 Dec 2013}} External links
