Recommended African Music Portals for your ears! January 21, 2006 8:44 AM

A few Great Sites:
 
A great source for Zimbabewan music. The greatest work i've seen up to now in this field, greatly organized, very rich and diverse database. You can get CDs, many of them are fair trade.
 
Another good portal, with great music.
 
A very very big and popular african music portal. They also have a Radio station articles and etc.
 
A small yet very good Resource for Zimbabewan Mbira music. Very personal with stories about each artist. 90% precents of the profits go directly to the artists! Worth a check!
 
A big portal especially for mbira music, arranged by Erica Azim. All CDs give a fair cut of the profits to the artists. lots of Mbira info too.
 
 
That's the ones I know, but i'll be glad to hear you people's recommendations...
If you're new around here and still don't know what Mbira is check out the archives for plenty of info...
Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for the introduction to all these beautiful singers and bands. Wow!....I first tried listening to the Dandemutande.corg, but somehow my computer or something needs to wait....I also liked Pure Spiritual Drum,Grooves from zimbabwe. My youngest Daughter heard me mention "Zimbabwe music." and was excited because she learned about it in school.  The sounds in chaka Chawasarira, and some others like Real Nubian(Camel Driver),Wafir by Nilo Azul, L,uvia, Mauritania,Senegal are also nice! Thank you very much!!!  [report anonymous abuse]  [ accepted]

To discover some refreshing sounds!
