african music: where do i go from here.

Ghanaian music!

I got this a few months ago:

and have now played it to death. What next? Doesn't have to be Ghanaian, I'm just after afrobeaty stuff with a raw, rocky edge to it.

Go for
Orchestre Polyrhythmo de Cotonou, Vis-à-vis
Ebo Taylor, Alhaji Frimpong, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley (Ghanaian)
the Rail Band, Ali Farka Touré, Djelimady Tounkara, Lobi Traoré, Sorry Bamba (Malian)
Super Étoile de Dakar, Tal National, Konono n°1, and it's not very rocky but do listen to Congolese music (the Rumba Rock compilation from African Pearls for example, and check the Senegalese one too)
my favorite related Soundway comp is Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds & Nigerian Blues 1970-6

or yeah, just listen to Afrobeat.

Thanks so much, that'll keep me going for a while.

I have been enjoying this quite a lot: https://www.mrbongo.com/products/the-original-sound-of-mali-vinyl-2-lp-cd-1

The 2 volumes of kenya Special are both good as is the Daniel Misiani and shirati Jazz set Kings of History. I have family history from kenya so like looking at music from the area.
Would also recommend Ethiopiques though not sure exact volumes before 4,8,9
there's a companion series from Zanzibar that has some interesting volumes in too. is it 3 & 5?

also Ofege, Edzayawa, Blo!, Hedzoleh Sounds, Monomono, Ngozi Family, Amanaz, The Peace and Witch.

i wasn't as knocked out by the entries on that area of music in the last Vernon Joynson as I'd hoped. Didn't sound like he was very familliar with the actual black rock bands.

I'd also really recommend the early stuff by Osibisa, and Cymande who were both adding African influences into more Western ones.
