Graceland is a favourite album of mine, and that clip really brings "I know what I know" to life.
There is so much good music from Africa, and you prompted me to revisit an old favourite, the Horoya Band National:-
Where are these guys from? The country of Guinea (sometimes called Guinea-Conakry in an attempt to distinguish it from two other countries: the neighbouring Guinea-Bissau and Equitorial Guinea, which is over a thousand miles to the east).

Greetings. Nice to meet you.
Yes, well, we're talking about an entire continent of people and their music, aren't we? And when you think about its musical history... that's lifetimes of exploration. The clip is new to me. Very nice. My first instinct is to call it
Bantu but I could be completely wrong. Nice starting off point in any case. Thanks!
