- One group that comes to mind is called Farafina, from Burkina Faso.
- Only album of theirs I'm aware of is called "Bolomakote" and
- published by Verabra records (Cologne, Germany); I've seen the
- group live and they are really worth checking out: energy,
- sensuality, power, humour, all.

- I don't know who sells this record in U.S.
