Artist:Babatunde OlatunjiReview:In the early 1960s, Babatunde Olatunji was the face of Africanmusic in America. Though the real Afropop of the time was longer onmelodies of wisdom than drums of passion, the Nigerianpolitical-science student quickly found that to teach Americansanything at all about Africa, he'd best keep it simple.
