What's African music today? When going to record shops, one is able to find many incredible reissues and compilations. Then there's a small 'afrobeat' stack sometimes, where new and groovy afro music is usually displayed.
Here's a little deeper digging, with electronic afrojazz from France (
Minimoogli), electronic afrosoul from Netherlands (thru England:
AIFF reinterpreted by
Diesler and Laura Vane), Afropunk Slam from Trinidad (
Anthony Joseph on France's leading jazz label
Heavenly Sweetness), funky Afrojazz from Germany (
The Boogoos), American Afrofunk (
Kokolo) remixed by Israelian funkmeister
Kutiman, and cinematic Afrojazz from the United Kingdom (
Middlewood Sessions)...
