Listen To A Beautiful Mix Of Early African 78 RPM Records

This mix by Ceints De Bakelite is an incredible collection of early African 78 RPM records. He created the mix for the Paris Music Library earlier this year. All the tracks are made between 1930 and 1960—and most of the tracks aren’t available on other formats, so we are in for a real treat here. Scroll down for the stream and check out the tracklist.
