African and Haitian Music Appreciation Thread
Forums:
I'd like to correct a problem if I may, I'd like to change the repugnant "shit hole" with the celebratory Shit Hot!!
I've lived in Africa, my brother does pediatric work in Haiti, I could go on. The world is full of marvels beyond the imagination, and one of those is music. So to rectify the spirit of our country with good faith to those who've been insulted, lets celebrate the music of Africa, Haiti, and those that have been disenfranchised by racists in general.
I'd like to start with a long time favorite of mine, King Sunny Ade, have seen him a half dozen times, love love love it!!!

Salif Keita was exiled by his royal family when he was just 18, as being a musician wasn't fitting a son of a king, and being albino was sign of misfortune to the superstitious, he went on to become one of the fathers of Afro-pop, and top grossing African performers of all time!

If you believe the title of a thread dictates the narrative course that the thread should take, then, you're sort of part of the problem?
