Some here may also want to check Seckou Keita, who plays the kora, who not only performs music from Senegal but also collaborates with artists of other genres, jazz, world, etc.  I can't say I have a favourite album of his, as pretty much no matter what he does, I find very compelling.  

I think it was you, in the interactive polls, who brought Dhafer Youssef to me. Thumbs Up
  And I think it was Sean Trane hereabouts, who brought him to me.  Word of mouth (or page, or forum) is often a wonderful source.

I think, it's up to you, but I can tell you so much that RYM classify it as Progressive Pop (as the Primary Genre), and they mentioned three possible classifications as Secondary Genre, one of them being South African Music.

I was listening to Tinariwen earlier and it reminded me of this thread.

I don't think there's any question they are an African band.
