African musicians
I've always found african musicians as interesting and talented, though some are just there to mimic western artists.
But the ones that I relly respect are those that no matter what, bring the african tradition into their musical style. Lets take Eedris Abdulkareem for example, in his last album, he made a song in Hausa. Though his musical style may seem western, he regularly puts hausa clauses in his songs. ( hope we don't forget his little scuffle with New York rapper 50 cent).
I have a collection of African music which I give for free at www.africanmusicnetwork.com
