The Rough Guide to the Music of Kenya and Tanzania is a world music compilation album originally released in 1996. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series,[1] it focuses on the music of Kenya and Tanzania, two countries which share Swahili as a common language. The release was compiled by Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[2] Artwork was designed by Impetus.[3]
Chris Nickson of AllMusic gave the album four stars, stating that while it may not be perfectly all-inclusive, it serves as an "excellent introduction" to the region's music.[4] Michaelangelo Matos, writing for the Chicago Reader, named it as his favourite of the early Rough Guide albums, describing the record as "close to perfect."[5]
