I only have 5 African albums
Fela Kuti - Roforofo Fight Fela Kuti - Expensive sh*t Fela Kuti - Zombie Fela Kuti - Original Sufferhead Dhafer Youssef - Abu Nawas Rhapsody Guess you could count as they are mainly South African musicians except Shabaka who is English of Barbadian parents. Shabaka & The Ancestors - Wisdom Of The Elders Shabaka & The Ancestors - We Are Sent Here By History

If you don't know them, I think you should give the Swedish Goat a listen (particularly their first two albums) - with your fondness of freaky psychedelics - and see them live on Youtube, which is really some African like freaky psychedelia - but I don't know how fond you are of some exotic stuff.

Multi-national is probably correct by the PA policy, anyway, not my policy, that's the PA policy for those that might be interested.

From Wikipedia. I guess multi-national might be a better choice. Formed in London by four Ghanans and others from Grenada, Trinidad and Antigua. Also not a bad thing having a nation like Ghana represented here i guess  |

Shouldn't it be where the band was formed? Not all the members were from Ghana.

Re country of origin on PA, the determination is based on where they were born, not where they were living when they released an album. UK would not be correct for Osibisa.
As for African music, I own lots including, but not limited to: King Sunny Ade Kanda Bongo Man Youssou N'Dour Ebenezer Obey Osibissa Fela Khuti Ghetto Blaster Hugh Masekela Foday Musa Suso Mandingo and some others I can't recall now, plus lots of comps and field recordings.

I'd appreciate that you read the OP before posting, siLLy puPPy, but I'm glad to hear, you're familiar with Osibisa which is absolutely my favourite African music band.

One of my favourite albums of this year is Wau Wau Collectif’s “Yaral Sa Doom” - a collaboration between musicians from Sweden and Senegal. I’m not sure it completely counts, therefore, as an African release, but it is lovely nevertheless. Highly recommended!
(Two of my favourite releases last year were from an African artist, too - Italian based Egyptian, Mohammed Ashraf, recording as Pie Are Squared.) (I’m surprised no one has mentioned Myrath yet, as they are are well known and well liked band from Tunisia (now based in France). [EDIT] Myrath were mentioned as I was writing my post. 🤪 Edited by nick_h_nz - December 04 2021 at 10:14 |
