Living in San Francisco, I have a lot of great record stores where I can find all sorts of African music, but you always seem to post stuff that is not available here. Any thoughts on Toma Sidibe? I plan to start posting music on my food blog soon. peace Thanks for all the beautiful music.

Wonderful stuff. The music is also very similar in style to the "Bomba" music of southern Puerto Rico, which has its roots in West Africa as well, being brought over by the slaves that worked the cane plantations... I posted a short (and kinda lousy) video of Bomba being performed in Ponce last month: http://youtube.com/watch?v=LMfUbR37Zr4 ...at least it'll give an idea of the similarities. Thanks, and keep up the great work! Your excellent site never fails to delight and instruct me at the same time.
