After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti’s works I’ve been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don’t hear much stuff from. Doesn’t have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I’d love to hear that as well!

    There’s an awesome Afrobeat collection called Nigeria: The Definitive Story of 1970’s Funky Lagos. I don’t know if it’s streaming but it’s a good next step.

    This is a way more chill recommendation but I love Mayra Andrade from Cape Verde for music to relax to.

      I’ll need to check that out, sounds good. In return, I’ll recommend the Beginner’s Guide to African Funk, a 3 CD set full of absolute gems.
