Angelique Kidjoe--like her earlier music better than more recent works

there's lots of others I could list but for those of you who haven't heard the above artists you need to take a listen

Oh don't worry friend. I have heard of some of these guys before. Salif Keita is a excellent singer. I love his music especially his early years with some bands he used to work with. Miriam Makeba is a true African diva. TRUE ONE.

There are two songs I like with Salif Keita

Thanks for the explanation, Franco.

I`ve just been enjoying this song you posted. I love the light voices and the time that is given over to the delicate guitar playing :-

In fact, Samba Mapangala is one of several artists who turn up in your "favourites" collection and in this thread too; I wonder if you`ve seen it ?

^ This old MB thread, of course, is about African artists who have somehow become known to people outside the continent. What`s special about your thread is that you`re giving us an insider`s view of the music. Thanks.

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
