Hey I'm starting to get into African music and am looking for some new artists / favorite albums to check out. So for I've been listening to a lot of Cesaria Evora, Sidi Toure, Ali Farka Toute, Fela Kuti, and Tcheka. I think my favorite artists are Amadou Diang and Fallou Dieng. What else would ya'll recommend?

I'm not the most well-versed in African music, but other than the artists you've mentioned, I really enjoyed these albums:


Dimanche À Bamako by Amadou & Mariam


El Rego by El Rego

Back in the d-day, this guy made some great albums that managed to be funky, electronic and just plain weird all at the same time, but in a good way. I got a boxset of his discography last Christmas and I continue to enjoy it.

Aura by King Sunny Adé

This album of Juju music is really great, and features some nice harmonica work by Stevie Wonder on the opening track.
