I'll take a chili rellano and a side of beans! Since when do they play West African pop music in Mexican restaurants? You were probably thinking of Senegalese nightclubs, but confused the two. It's an easy mistake to make for an American, which I can only assume you are. Do not let morons like this ruin your opinion of ALL Americans . . . . PLEASE! :) Ok girl, but it's REALLY HARD. Anyway, I'm trying.. Nice tune  |

It makes me want to break things. Not a fan of 'world' music either, but I love authentic ethnic music of any description. |

| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Sep 27, 2007 - 14:48 ...senegalese nightclubs do make the most awesome burritos on the continent, you know... ...in all sincerity, from the time i spent living in the caribbean, one could really hear the intersection between afropop and latin american music... |

| Wizzuvvoz (straddling the fence at the groin of America) | Posted: Apr 23, 2007 - 09:35 I really dig this style of guitar. I suppose the rating is so low because the vocals are somewhat inaccessible. Maybe some King Sunny Ade Bill? |

You hear western instruments (especially the brass) being put to use making otherwise traditional west African music. It's not really a hybridization, just that it has some instruments that sound non-African to us all. Anyway. To me it sounds very cool. 8
Thanks for the info Scott! Sounds like salsa or some other spanish/caribbean influence, and even a little bit of ska horns in there! I think that it is fascinating that this music would come out of Africa when I am leading myself to believe that it is caribbean/central american! The things that you learn on RP! I like the song! |
