"African" music is like "American" music. Too diverse to be branded under 1 category... especially with the different languages.

For real I hate when people talk about "African" music or "African" food or "African" dance like it's the same from Dakar to Gaborone...continent is way too big and diverse

Other than that there are some dope artists on the continent, that's beyond any doubt

I have quite a bit in my mp3 collection. Will post later but mostly

• Ladysmith_Black_Mambazo
• Youssou_N'Dour
• Fela Kuti
• Sammy Okposo
• Ras Kimono
• and other afrobeat joints

Oliver De Coque - Identity (Live) - YouTube

I remember waaaaay back in the day when he came to my parents house in Los Angeles. I aint never seen my folks clean up so much and cater to a guest like that in my life. Buying all kinds of premium snacks, cases of guiness, soda, even brought home a goat to kill and cook the day before.

And I couldn't have none of it.

 

[PrnzHakeem]

I keep some Stephen Osita Osabede, Fela, Magic System, and Oliver DeCoque in my collection. I'm open to getting some more.

Honestly tho, I need to buy a vinyl to mp3 turntable and raid my parents record collection.

 

[Captain Crunch]

I heard some tracks, it's cool.
