Sounds of Africa is the fourth album by double bassist and oud player Ahmed Abdul-Malik featuring performances recorded in 1962 (with one track from 1961) and originally released on the New Jazz label.

[1] Rob Ferrier of Allmusic says, "Soaked with sounds that wouldn't become fashionable in jazz for nearly another decade, this is a very interesting statement by an overlooked musician... For those looking for something new, or perhaps in search of a missing musical link, this disc will reward repeated listens".
