Sub-Saharan African vocal harmony CDs are like cats; it’s hard to find an ugly one. That does not mean that some are not better than others, though, and this one is. The rich sound for which ARC is noted is in possibly its best format with this sort of South African Mbube-style a cappella music.
Afrika Mamas is good and has a remarkable handle on combining traditional and even conversational elements with strong vocal rhythm. It is a product of the 21st Century, certainly, but harks back to the tradition of Solomon Linda and His Evening Birds, circa 1939.
