There is currently discussion of African music(and musicians) in an un-named English city , on a thread about people playing music from alien cultures. But you cant really isolate the specifically African posts from the general flow of the conversation/
There is a thread somewhere about musicians from Zimbabwe in Sandbach (Cheshire, UK), but I dont know how to do blue clickies to Mudcat threads. I am myself working with a number of Zibabwean singers on various recording and educational prejects, but I'm not sure if I have anything to say on the subject particularly at the moment.
   The festival I have jy=ust played at in Cumbria was organised by an African, but I dont think it had anything to do with African music.
