So much more to discover:) I love when I suddenly finds a whole tradition of music or art hat I didn't know existed. Blues and traditional music from Mali in west Africa for example :)
Blues from Mali...? That really sounds interesting!
The theory is that some of the important parts of blues comes from Mali (it did come from West Africa, because the US slaves were all from West Africa) Try listening to Ali Farka Touré. He made the most beautiful album together with Toumani Diabaté who plays kora, a local calabash harp
This is something I just found too... Thereøs so much great music from Mali.
Thanks a lot, those are great! Especially Ali Farka Touré is really beautiful.
The only music from Mali, that I had already in my media library is this african salsa from the 60s ;-)

I've also listened to lots of Afrobeat, like Paris DJs used to dig out. They're also on bandcamp.
