I had some Zap Mama pop up a couple of times on shuffle this morning.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - Who Is This America Dem Speak Of Today?

I get such strange reactions from people when I play any kind of Afrobeat stuff. I don't understand, what's not to like?

I don't see how those people can breath in such tiny boxes.

I knew I started this thread at some point, it was buried somewhere in General Music instead of the World forum where it belongs. Anyway:





Ali Farka Touré - The River
Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabate - In the Heart of the Moon

The album with Diabate is cool enough (thanks again for the recommendation Zola, and I'll be checking out the Vieux Farka Touré album that OldSmell recommended shortly), but the River is fucking awesome! I should've started listening to this guy sooner.

You're welcome, Jazz, glad you're digging it. I would most certainly include Ali Farka Touré among my favourite musicians of all time.

'King' Sunny Ade, and his African Beats - Juju Music - 1982

This is the album that opened a lot of eyes in the 'first world' when it came out. Sweet, soulful, stoney afro pop (well, Juju music). I keep forgetting how good this album is! There's plenty of sensuous, layered drumming (3 talking drums) to juice things along. And the guitars, oh yeah the guitars (3 guitars and a pedal steel), are ringing and soaring like jet contrails in the sky. 6 vocalists plus Sunny's delicate lead voice lay down beautiful afro/call and response and beyond settings within the tunes.

No matter whether you're a hard core african music fanatic or a open minded noob, this album is hard not to dig.
