^ Yep, I used to listen to these guys and enjoyed that hypnotic quality too.

Here's the long title track from a 1984 album that also has a hypnotic quality to it. (The band, Dissidenten, are from Germany, but have a career of working with world musicians, in this case, from Morocco.)

2015 re-release of the 1967 debut and only album from Ginger Johnson and his African Messengers. Too bad they didn't release more albums because this one is a 10/10 in my book.
^ Thanks for the link, Psy-Fi. I found the biog of Ginger Johnson very interesting, and am now listening to one of the "you may also like" recommendations there: a band called Soothsayers:-
