Aziz: I'm sorry, but I cant really see the point of this thread. I applaud your efforts to try to set up a useful resource, but I think it is already too big and unwieldy to use in any practical way. And this is only with you putting up a selection of posts found by searching on Africa or African. What happens when you search under the names of individual countries.I just took a quick glance, and there are over 300 posts with Zimbabwe or Zimbabwean, for example. Admittedly only a proportion of these will be about music, but this all seems to me to show we have too much stuff to shove into a megathread in a linear structure.
    I may be completely wrong, but this a subject that interests me, and I cant really see how to use the thread.
