Question: examples of african styles of music? i want to try and compose/arrange a song with a african feel to it and need examples of rhythms and so forth

Answer: check out this video of Paul Simon featuring Ladysmith Black Mambazo (the africans), "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"\n\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=RPT_Gi7-vv4\n\n\nand uh, reggae isn't really african... i mean, it's probably popular or whatever, but it certainly isn't from there
