The Afropop review.

Also, Afropop(CC Smith and Gerard Tacite Lamothe) republished their research from 1986 in Haiti, as a kind of companion to Ostanito’s Tanbou and Strut’s Haiti Direct.

Also Ostinato has this 44 mins set – Afrophonia Vol. 2 1968 – 1982: Black Atlantic Rhythms from Cuba to Angola
