Every song that features rhythm.
>>60667917

>>60667737
>Hurr durr, is there any good mewzik besides the entry-level Western Anglophone /mu/core shit I listen to
Oh, fuck you.

if you need to ask this question you don't deserve a good answer

It's so hard to find African music tho, it seems like nobody ever fucking reviews music from there
>>60668200
Yeah, could have recommended plenty of stuff if OP bothered to frame his question in a non-retarded way.
>>60668200
>there is LOTS of patrician music from Africa but it's not for PLEBEIAN TRASH like YOU to listen to. You have to be in MY secret club to know, so fuck off. *masturbates*
Yes. Africa has an incredible musical tradition of both traditional and contemporary music and if you're not at least passingly familiar with it you're the worst kind of pleb
Konono n°1 is pretty fucking neat, traditional Congolese music but with distorted instruments

Sissoko & Segal is a Franco-Malian duo that I've really been enjoying. Sissoko's stuff is definitely worth listening on its own, too:

>failing to comprehend how offensive and retarded op's question is
>>60668258
the nature of OP's question does not entail the elitist response given, and OP is not the only one who wants recommendations.
>>60667737
This is a GREAT place to start anon
