Fela is definitely the man, I would suggest "He Miss Road" or "Expensive Sh*t" as good places to start
Before Antibalas got their name together, some future members put out a very nice record as The Daktaris which is extremely cool
In a slightly different dimension there's King Sunny Ade whose record Juju Music is very nice
or you could check out voodoofunk.blogspot.com and dig any of the posts with mp3s in them
and then there's Orchestre Polyrhythm (sp?) from 1970s Benin who there's a few collections out and I've been enjoying a lot this year
