Africaine is a collection of 1959 recordings by jazz artist Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers.

The collection was not released until over 20 years after it was recorded.

The album features tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter in his first recording with The Jazz Messengers, trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Walter Davis, Jr. and bassist Jymie Merritt.

[1] Michael G. Nastos of Allmusic called it, "a recording that shows a band fully able to fuse many exotically attractive elements into a unified whole of creative jazz music ecstasy".
