I've been really into the Graceland album by Paul Simon recently. It was a collab with South African musicians including Ladysmith Black Mambazo. What do you guys know about music in this vein that might be worth a listen? I've been loving the Putomayo Collection From Memphis To Mali. GREAT stuff there...especially since my go-to genre is Delta blues. I love stuff my Amadou and Merriam too. Anybody got any recommendations off the top?

Here's a little something to get you in the mood:

I'll have to think on it. I know there are a few out there that might fit in that group but can't remember the names of any right off.

On ething I can suggest is to pick up a copy of a magazine called Global Rythems. It has more then just this style but the artist's are from around the world and it is the only magazine out there covering World Music.

Oh man there are so many magazines I need to subscribe to; it would take more than one reformed crack addict to satiate all my subscription needs, hah...I'll keep an eye out for that one at news stands...thanks :)

The metal band? I love that band and would flip out if they did a collab with Amadou and Merriam or Ladysmith Black Mambazo or something haha. I think it could be cool.
