Labialization

I would like to know if any languages contrast between labialized
consonant, and consonant + [w]. I know some African languages such as
Amharic and Hausa use labialization, but they do not seem to contrast with
consonant + [w]. I was also wondering, do most languages have anticipatory
lip-rounding before [u] (and [o])?
