Description
A vibrant compilation celebrating the women of African funk, soul, and disco
Return To The Mothers' Garden (More Funky Sounds Of Female Africa 1971-1982) is a vibrant compilation celebrating the women of African funk, soul, and disco. Spanning a golden era, it showcases ten powerful tracks of infectious grooves, soaring vocals, and raw energy, offering a rare glimpse into the artistry of female voices who shaped modern Africa.
In 2018 we introduced our first Mothers' Garden compilation on International Womens' Day. This compilation looked to shine a light on the often under-acknowledged musical contribution from female African artists. In 2019 Volume 2 was released and yet again with some of Africa's most recognized female artists alongside some lesser known artists. Whilst the roster might have changed slightly, the quality of music is as funky as before and the message stays the same.
