VA - Kwanzaa Party! : A Celebration of Black Cultures in Song (1994)

Celebrated by millions around the world, Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday dedicated to honoring the best in people of African descent and their cultures. Kwanzaa Party! brings together festive music from throughout the African Diaspora, compiled by the team that created "Kwanzaa Music -- A Celebration of Black Cultures in Song": Eric V. Copage, author of the best-selling Black Pearls series of daily meditations, and Daisann McLane, National Public Radio's world beat music commentator and contributor to the Village Voice and Rolling Stone. From Trinidad to Chicago, Colombia to Haiti, and South Africa to Brazil, these songs -- many of them national hits -- will enhance any party, at Kwanzaa time and all year round. In addition to notes on the music, the booklet includes a concise guide to the meaning and celebration of Kwanzaa, as well as recipes and a menu from Eric's classic holiday book Kwanzaa: An African-American Celebration of Culture and Cooking.
