Thanks to Youtube continuing on after listening to some of these tracks, I've found Kanda Bongo Man, who is Congolese but was recording this stuff in Paris. The guitar is less out front than some of this, but love the songs, so here we go:

Man, so happy to see this thread resurrected. It set me off on a year long journey to look into African music beyond Paul Simon and Putamayo records at the coffee place.

So much good poo poo to catch up on.

Glad to see this thread resurrected. It's sent me on an 18 month binge into African music in general, and my wallet to Bandcamp.

Mdou Moctar from Niger is incredible. Just the best guitar music in the world right now.

I first heard of this artist from this comp called Music From Saharan Cellphones.

Sahel Sounds is a label I’ve been following on Bandcamp that releases a lot of great African music.

Same label has this fantastic group: https://lesfillesdeillighadad.bandcamp.com/album/eghass-malan

Also, have discovered this awesome album in my wanderings:

Marijata is a mid 2000s rare groove collector holy grail, hell yeah. Nice post, I will be checking out the other stuff as I recover from my vaccine injection
I'd be happy with the reissue, but even that's hard to come by for reasonable money in the US.

Straying from guitars into jazz fusion for a moment, the drums on this are sick:

Would roll through Lagos listening to this:

Finally got this record delivered the other day, and putting it on a turntable is like moving in space and time

And got a Kenda Bongo Man album in the mail today.

Good stuff! Glad that this thread keeps popping back up. It set me off on a journey that resulted in this being one of my favorite types of music now.

They are so good.

Sahel Sounds doing an old fashioned package tour with all of their artists would be a dream.
