    Music video from Africa

    Music videos station from heart of Africa--Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although the language is French, I like the exotic music and simplicity of videos where one guy sings and rest dance around him or dance in a group.

    Thanks for the heads up. I've been into African music since hearing Fela in the early 80's.

    I am glad Africa countries have kept their distinct sound of music alive rather than follow music trends from Europe and N. America.

    Great Vid

    I'm familiar with some of the many forms of African music from the continent, mostly "High Life". I've seen King Sonny Ade, Yousan 'Ndour and a couple of others live. Very infectious. or at least until it's stolen and watered down for consumption by the West.

    Thanks for sharing.
