In Reply to: Seeking knowledge/suggestions on African music. Not interested posted by tinear on February 16, 2007 at 15:56:33:
Foda Musa Suso and Fela Kuti are a couple of well-established names. Konono #1 is a great new sound to western ears, though they go back more than a decade. Wasis Diop is in Paris now, but what a fabulous, sophisticated and exotic electro-African sound he has - not popish at all. For some newer names, Google the Festival In The Desert for past line-ups, discs, etc.Tartit, Takamba Super Onze, Tinariwen (!!!!), Tidawt, Kel Tin Lokiene, Tatouages, Awilo Longomba, Thandiswa Mazwai, Ghorwane, Oumou Sangare, Kekele, Kandia Kouyate, Mory Kante. For a taste of hip-hop, Juliana, Johny-Boy, K-Swiss, Agano.
Look for the soundtrack to a movie called Latcho Drom, on a French CD label, La Bande Son, distributed in US by Caroline Records. An older disc but still fresh sounds.
Arabian Africa is a whole 'nother world. I favor Ethiopian and Sudanese sounds.
