The Rough Guide To Psychedelic Africa is a world music compilation album originally released in 2012 featuring 1960s and 1970s African popular music.
Disc One features three Nigerian tracks, two Guinean, and one each from Benin, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal, Ghana, and Mali.
[1][2] The album was met with mixed to positive reviews, with criticism focusing on the title.
Chris Nickson of AllMusic called the use of the term "psychedelia" "elastic".
[4] Robin Denselow of The Guardian wrote in the same vein, saying it was "more good-time dance music than freak-out,"[5] while Richard Gehr of Spin said it was "less Hendrix than 'Mystic Moods'".
