The Music of Africa Series was produced by Hugh Tracey in the early 1960s as an off-shoot of his 218 LP Sound of Africa Series, in order to present African music to a general audience. ILAM has re-issued, without modifications, the original 25 LP series in CD format (The numbering, cover images, and liner notes of the original LPs has been retained). Hugh Tracey presented the music on these albums according to instrument type, geographic region, and in the case of Princess Magogo, to feature an exceptional musician. The original LPs are true collector's items. Enjoy the storytelling of African folktales by Hugh Tracey himself on MOA 17, 33, 34, & 35.

Tracks on MOA14, MOA15, and MOA 16 are by various African groups who received the Osborn Award for best recording of the year, selected by the African Music Society, which was founded by Hugh Tracey in 1948.
