African Music

[JustinC]

Below are some sounds/music clips from Africa. You may not understand or have heard of them before but its a small collection you will hopefully enjoy. Feel free to add any you know or like from previous trips etc.

Regards

Now THIS is the type of music that should be used to enhance promotional safari videos!!! (instead of death metal) I actually heard the first one (Johnny Clegg-scaterlings of Afica) on a promo video from Cruiser safaris, and I believe (IIRC) that I've heard pieces from the African music compilation piece in another video (KMG, maybe??)....

At any rate, thanks for sharing those.......they were pretty cool! And if anyone out there is thinking about using Toto's "Africa" for background music.......please, rethink it. It's been done to death!

Maybe use "mystic rhythms" by RUSH instead?

I always like to hear music from other places, in 4 trips no one played any African music. This is very nice to hear, no to find some.

Thanks enjoyed it. Liked the guitar in a couple. The guy with the gallon can for a guitar is talented. I agree Spooksar, listening to music from the cultures you visit is part of the adventure.
