I luv me some ILX, but I wish threads that are not american indie-rock or punk would get some more posts. I guess we gotta find time to research this stuff ourselves and recruit folks to post here...

I don't know the difference between any of it (yet) but I've started to really become a fan of this radio show on 1Xtra by DJ Edu - Destination Africa but I don't really know where to go next.

Depends I guess on what you're looking for --rap or club style or afropop with a band...

I want to know more about zouk and other French/non-Anglophone Caribbean music. Is Zouk still a thing? I remember hearing a lot while in France in the 90s, but someone was telling me it's still going strong.

Zouk is GREAT and yeah, still going strong here (mostly - but not only - in the antillais circles).I mentioned some of it in this thread : Aya Nakamura, Naza and the new french urban scene
And there's some great zouk in the French football team's 2018 playlist : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7roe9RLmenXQTmQwHnAaUA
Fanny J is a personal favourite (mostly her 2006 incredible album)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjzze_QH8KA

I posted two tracks from Martinique on the Rolling soca et cetera thread two months ago. Not exactly zouk, mind!
