This will most likely remain the chart I'm most proud of (or... well, at least top three)—
I hope people find recs from it, always—

Here are the newest additions, for those who have combed through it too many times already—

Tadzungaira Yepasi – Forward Kwenda 1997 Nyamaropa Tuning (2003) by Forward Kwenda

Fangate Djangele Et Djanfa Magni (1977)...ou - Benin

የጥላዬ ሳክስ ከዳህላክ ... ባንድ

Les Nuits Du Maghreb (1976) by Salim Halali

All four are stellar—

This is hardly worthy an announcement, but I'm working on a chart focused on middle eastern music at the moment, and I've been thinking of cutting Egyptian and Libyan entries from this chart and putting them on that instead. Might end up a MENA + possibly Turkiye sorta grouping. Eventually. Working on it—
