I wish I knew Swahili so well so I could love this song from my idol Pepe Kalle.

Here's a few I like
 

Salif Keita-- one of my favorite artists ever
Ismael Lo--you need to listen to "Tajabone" -beautiful
Miriam Makeba--I like her more traditional songs
Amampondo- recommend listening to State of Emergency
Cesaria Ivoire-her voice is hauntingly beautiful
Angelique Kidjoe--like her earlier music better than more recent works


there's lots of others I could list but for those of you who haven't heard the above artists you need to take a listen

Oh don't worry friend. I have heard of some of these guys before. Salif Keita is a excellent singer. I love his music especially his early years with some bands he used to work with. Miriam Makeba is a true African diva. TRUE ONE.

There are two songs I like with Salif Keita

great song from remmy ongala

MORE THOMAS MAPFUMO
legend time

Some great times with Samba and his musicians with guitar of Syran Mbenza

Some greatness of Franco with the song FABRICE (5 Ya Ans Fabrice)

this song made the legend of Nyboma

Elengi

Papa Wemba is the genius man with his great song LONI
