Indestructible African Beats

Artist Song
manu dibango  african battle 
fela kuti  water no get enemy 
indestructible beat of soweto  the stream 
orchestra baobab  utru horas 
ali farka toure  allah uya 
baaba maal  souka nayo 
king sunny ade  suku suku bam bam 
afel bacoum  varabitala 
eyuphuro  samukhela 
ladysmithblack mambazo with the mint juleps  the lion sleeps tonight 
master musicians of joujouka  the magic of peace 
youssou n'dour  kirikou 
samba mapangala  vunjua mifupa

Lovely music which moves me. Quite a bit different from what I usually listen to, but what the heck! It's eclectic week, here in the McDonald household

Wonderful Gerry. Love the Ali Farka Toure and King Sunny Ade tracks especially.

I'm afraid to say it, but I like to noodle around on the guitar to beats like this. Does that make me the next Brian Jones? Where to you FIND all these wonderful sounds?

Hi Gerard - looks like a great mix. I have several CDs by the aritists on your list. I lived in Kenya for 2 years and was turned on to how great African music is.

I am not yet in a CD mix club. Any suggestions?

I just made a mix (not on the site) I call Lights Out San Francisco with several bluesy late 60s early 70s sounds such as Dan Hicks, Quicksilver, J. Airplane, J. Lee Hooker, Jorma Kakaunen (sp?), and some outlyers like Free and Ravi Shankar.

All the best, Steve
