1. African as in music made by native Africans? That would let out the Boer songs wouldn't it? Or, at least wouldn't they more properly be called not "African songs" but "Boer songs"?

2. Africa is pretty big, with a lot of different cultures. It may be the convention in the western world to lump is all under one umbrella, "African," as though you can capture it accurately with just the one word; but I would think you can't hope to represent it fairly with just one song.

Good luck!
