Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 It's like foreign films — if you're not delving deep, you'll assume that it's all gold, because why would you hear about bad foreign films? It's the same with African disco — I'm sure there's heaps of crap, but all I ever hear is just excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Carbomb said: One of my favourite artists ever is Baaba Maal. His early 90s album Baayo was, for me, his best; it was a massive departure from his usual, more modern sound with electric instrumentation, centring more around traditional Senegalese music. A truly beautiful album, and one of my favourite songs on it is Mariama (Turtle Dove😞  Have you heard Boubacar Traore? Malian blues guitarist.. Think it will be up your street. He played in London a couple months back; it was an incredible show. Just him, a percussionist and a harmonica player. Here's a track - Edit: holy shit @Keith Houchen that's amazing. Edit 2: if you guys want to check out some good contemporary Ethiopian tunes, type Nahom Favorite into YouTube. A series of compilations with some great tracks in there.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 Well today has been a proper education! Some great music and artists there who I had no idea about. That said, @Keith Houchen's is the most special, using some of Nollywood's greatest visual artists to create an amazing video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yeah, Houchen "wins" the thread, although we're all winners, really. I like to relax my mind with a bit of S.E. Rogie. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm a big fan of African music. Especial 70's Ghanaian funk and fusion stuff. If anyone wants any recommendations then please ask as I'm more than willing. On a slightly different note - here's 'Introduction' by Witch. Brilliant Zambian garage rock band from the early 70's.
