This compilation album is made up of the choicest cuts of the Mr. Bongo catalogue to celebrate its mammoth 20th birthday. It brings together the many facets of the label's past, present and future (yet to be released tracks also included) - with a blend of styles from Brazilian to Latin, from Hip Hop to Funk, and from House to Afrobeat, Jazz, Reggae and Drum 'n Bass?
