Sorry, I don`t know about the specific countries you mention, but from Zaire, just north of Zambia, there is
Franco and his group called
O.K. Jazz, which, coincidentally, I just put in this thread the other day :-
http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...thread-12.html. Their music can have a rather colonial era, international sound which may not be what you want.
For a more modern take, and therefore, paradoxically, a more ethnic sound I really recommend
Tarika, who come from Madagascar, (so far east that you have to fall off the mainland to get there) :-
YouTube - ‪Tarika: Tsy Kivy‬‏
Both of these bands have made such a lot of albums that there are "Best of ..." compilations available, which is often a good place to start.
