Of all the wealth of Africa, its music is easily the most radiant and renewable. if you listen to some music from the Carribean, you can almost hear the echoes of different parts of Africa from which slaves were transported. One of my favourite African singers is from Zambia. His name is Leo Moyo and performs under the name K'Millian. He sings mostly in Bemba, Nyanja and English, sometimes mixing the...

Another high-profile music list was just unveiled over at Amazon, their 100 Greatest World Music Albums of All Time . 100 is a nice number -- round, large, and far less likely to include glaring omissions than, say, a top 10 or top 25 list.
