i will post some hiphop/modern dance music from Tanzania, Ghana, Capetown, Ethiopia,  soon.

Great!

That's what we need -- Variety!

Your ideas are very welcome.

[bobotron]

i can post some modern african music, Kwaito and hiphop and things, but i don't want to be the only one.

so after dropping 7 albums in the Ethiopia thread, unless someone else posts something i don't think i will bother...

 

[bobotron]

Please be patient -- This forum is still very young. We have only 70+ members, and the only way to attract others is to post...and post...

The regular guys are into Congolese music, mostly -- but I am sure they will lend a hand every now and then.

Great idea!   
I've been wondering where one could post and discuss Naija music, like 2Face Idibia, 9ice, P.Square, Styl-Plus... Love 'em all 

Keep blazin' yo

Naija music, like 2Face Idibia, 9ice, P.Square, Styl-Plus...

Oh.. you missed out dude!!! 
I am very much into Nigerian music nowadays.. and Ghanian (sp?).  (But it all started with Congolese music )
But the problem still remains, I don't know where to post...
Admin, whatchu think? It was a lot easier with High Life since I knew the name of the genre... dunno for the Nigerian music.. just call Naija (9ja) all of it 

But I think I should post some here so you get an idea:
On a sidenote, 2Face Idibia was here some months ago.. and I was totally amazed by him!! 

2Face Idibia - No Shakin' - Listen to the lyrics in this one, really good.



And you guys should have heard this one, think you have, but just forgot who sings it  :
2Face Idibia - African Queen



9ice (who I really like), Tustep, B-right: Shokoshombolo - Nice combo, ok track



P.Square (twins, love their music) - Bizzy Body - You gonna LOVE dis one 


P.Square - Story


Hope you like 'em!
Lots of hugs from me.

One of my Naija friends told me to check this website..
You can listen, not D/L from here.
Go to the site -- Click on Media -- Click Nigerian artists for Naija music (or something else if you want of course )

Naja music is sung either with Pidgin "broken English" http://www.ngex.com/personalities/babawilly/dictionary/default.htm
and/or:

Igbo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_language
Yoruba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_language
Hausa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausa_language
