Just after I first saw this thread I was browsing in a record shop and saw some cheap "Terra" CDs of music from around the world, so I got the Cote d'Ivoire CD. Now Mrrzy, can you tell me anything about performers Kally Pondi and Gauthi Helle? The bit I've listened to so far was enjoyable. I like afropop more than American/western europe pop music.

from the same series I also got the Moroccan CD performed by Slaoui. Nice but I wish I had informative notes.
I've spent a few months each in Ghana and Morocco. But my only claim to being African would be ancient ancestry.
