It seems like there's no posts or topics on African Music so I wanted to start one to attract some people here since you guys are open minded and willing to be interested in culture, it seems to get overlooked but the music is pretty damn good actually. West African Music seems to be popular but is because it resembles Western Music which doesn't give you the best of Africa so I'm going to post different genres. Hope you guys enjoy it and please give some feedback!

Nigeria may be good but they don't come close to the Congolese. They have what no other genres have which is called the sebene, the sebene is the dance part when the instruments well mostly the guitars take over after the singing.
