African music
I open this thread for those who want to listen some music from around the world.
So... It's well known that Africa might be the cradle of the music but also there are many external influences that come together with the autochthonous styles creating a very interesting fusion. Fela Kuti, the afrobeat king:

I listen to Fela Kuti every day, he is too good. I will check out the other artists that you posted.
Here is a Fela Kuti song by Baaba Maal and Taj Mahal that is just so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvzxlbzltfo |

What a good song man, his voice sounds a little bit flamenco. |

So, Africa is a huge territory. This is my favourite group from Morocco, they're a legendary band.

Well, not very successful this thread... What can I say?... I love african music and overall african reggae. I don't know why I prefer it than jamaican. Maybe I'm a bit bored of classic reggae and dub but the fact is that african reggae sounds pretty good to me.
What I don't like is just that africans have to claim for things as that of the title of the song... In a continent for the most part black... It is an embarrassment for the entire world what is happening there. Max Adioa -- Freedom for the black people This band come from senegal but use to play concerts in Reunion Island... Maybe they like also taste some Zamal strain.

high Muab' Dib,
you are all alone here with your wonderful music. i thought i would join you.  i am a big fan of Ali Farka Toure (Mali). beautiful lilting music to send you off into dreamland. Niafunke is a good one and he also did a cd with Ry Cooder called Talking Timbuktu that is a really good fusion of African and blues guitars. on our travels, we picked up a cd from a Moroccan Reggae band called Gnawa Diffusion---Bab El Oued Kingston does that translate as neighbourhood of Kingston? it is super nice African reggae rhythms with a Moroccan spice. Taj Mahal's -Cajun Waltz from Mo' Roots is one of my all time favourite songs, but i have always thought of him as more of a blues artist. my workmate just lent me a cd by Cheikh N'Digél Lo- Bambay Gueej thanks for reminding me because i have not listened to it yet and want to burn it and give it back soon. i will check out some of the links you put up. you are so freaking cool

Hey Jahnice, happy to read you, I already was thinking that nobody except Corpsey likes African music overhere.
I like also Ali Farka Toure, he's a legend. I already knew that collaboration with Ry Cooder, very good album. I didn't know Gnawa Difussion and don't speak arab but it seems more like they are trying to establish some kind of comparison between their neighbourhood in Algeria (Bab El Oued) and Kingston in Jamaica. Anyways, Gnawa music is great, mysticism and trance works very well on it and match with many other styles turning out in a delicious fusion. I'll check out for those bands, don't hesitate to post links here. Best vibes. |
