Very good choice. I will post some Italian songs with African rhythm and arrangement
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

No doubt that this poll is going to be rhythmic.

I had been considering this one for a few earlier polls.

Stewart Copeland & Gizmo - Koteja


The original version by Copeland was on his album the Rhythmatist from back in the 80's. This live version was recorded in the 2000s. Amazing drummer. 

I think I'll go one tune at a time this time.

When I read the title I knew I had to nominate this song Big smile It's rather long so I'll make it my only suggestion to this poll.

Here is my first nomination. Kokoko! - "Malembe"



Kokoko! are from Kinshasa, Congo. They are known for making music with their own self-made instruments which are constructed with things they found on the street. Some of which you can see for yourself in the video. They are working with a French electronic producer whose name I don't remember, and the result is quite unique.

Welcome to the 22nd Interactive Poll. This time we go to Africa - a large continent that goes from Alexandria to Cape Town, from Dakar to Mogadishu (plus a few islands along the coastline).

Here are the rules:
The song (or piece, if it is an instrumental) must be either 1) from Africa, 2) related to Africa or 3) just inspired by African music in one way or another. Thus, we go by a format similar to the Latin American poll earlier on. However, there are no genre restrictions. Cover versions are allowed.

Prog artists can participate, but please think twice before entering with a 20 minutes long epic, and please don't choose too well known artists (I believe that, say, tracks from Remain in Light will be too well known around here).

Schedule:
The voting will open in a week, next Monday. Until then, you are free to post up to three songs, but please have your final nomination ready in time. Thus, there will pleny of time to vote before the next poll is up.

I wish everyone good luck :)
