After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti’s works I’ve been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don’t hear much stuff from. Doesn’t have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I’d love to hear that as well!
Great thread this, loads to check out.
I’ll recommend Songhoy Blues from Mali, and Gaspar Nali of Malawi, both excellent.
