Can you recommend a good African music compilation Jeff? I really enjoyed the concert from Eden for the Make Poverty History day and keep meaning to track down some of the artists that played that day, if you have any pointers to collections or essential artists in that general 'genre' it would be very much appreciated.

I really enjoyed the concert from Eden for the Make Poverty History day and keep meaning to track down some of the artists that played that day, if you have any pointers to collections or essential artists in that general 'genre' it would be very much appreciated.

For a compilation I'd recommend this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Africa-Very...ef=dp_tracks_all_2/026-0483391-5682008#disc_2
And if you like that get volume two which has slightly less commercial stuff on it.

My favourite African artists include:
Femi Kuti, The Four Brothers, The Bhundu boys (before they signed to a major label - The Shed sessions is a good album), Thomas Mapfumo. Most of that is relatively old though, I'm not really up to date with the latest stuff.

For chill out stuff you can't get better than Toumani Diabaté

There's a lot of good hip hop coming out of Senegal, my favourite being Daara J - I found about them by watching the Eden thing.

Kanda Bongo Man is one I forgot to mention - he was also at the Eden thing.
