I got right into Kenyan street music for a bit after having to source music for a film I was editing.

Sad thing was, one of the guys who contributed music was stabbed one night and I only found out when his people sent all his money back saying there was no-one to give it to now he was gone.

Destroyed me as he was now dead but also that they never just kept the cash as I was led to believe everyone in Africa was a thief

Check out Jagwa Music. Crazy stuff, like super repetitive freakout tunes.

Hey slags, I'm barely familiar with African music, can I get spoonfed some Afrobeat artists in the style of Fela Kuti and not...you know, modern Afrobeat? I've been meaning to jump in to African genres but it's hard to grasp them personally.
