After three London Is the Place For Me compilations drawn from the postwar multicultural music scene, you might think the well would run dry. Not a chance - here's another cracking sequence of pre-"world music" world music.

The album opens and closes with atmospheric instrumentals by drummer and bandleader Ginger Folorunso Johnson, a Nigerian who played with the leading jazz and pop musicians of that time. Caribbean contributions include two tracks by Young Tiger and four by Lord Kitchener, including Piccadilly Folk, about West End low-life. V For Victory by Young Growler (from Trinidad) recounts the West Indies win at Old Trafford in 1966: "We must congratulate Captain Sobers." It's a neat demonstration of calypso's role as upbeat news bulletin, and evidence that, in the right hands, even a cricket match report can sound interesting. The collection embraces many different moods, from the moving, southern African melodies of Dorothy Masuka, to the gritty, startlingly contemporary-sounding guitars of Dakuku Dum, by Ghanaians Enoch & Christy Mensah and Darling Don't Say No, by Nigerian Nat Atkins.
