Thomas Mapfumo
Thomas Mapfumo (born 1945 in Marondera, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean musician known as "The Lion of Zimbabwe" for his immense popularity and for the political influence he wields through his music. Pre-Independence, his songs openly called for the violent overthrow of the government, with lyrics like "Mothers, send your sons to war." Since the white government didn't understand Shona, however, at first they didn't realize how radical the songs were.

Corey Harris
Corey Harris (born February 21, 1969, Denver, Colorado) is a guitarist based in New Orleans on the Alligator label. He spent some time in western Africa studying, and rhythms from this area are very prevalent in his music, most conspicuously in "Mississippi to Mali." He performs a wide variety of music, from poppy selections (Santoro, eg) to raw, traditional guitar and piano blues (Honeysuckle, eg). He is one of the few contemporary blues artists that is able to avoid being either a staunch traditionalist or totally separated from its roots.

Harappian Night Recordings
Harappian Night Recordings provides working cover for Sayed Kamran Ali, a UK-based artist with connections to the whole Hunter Gracchus/Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides cabal. The Glorious Gongs Of Hainuwele beautifully conflates and confuses ethnic field recordings with contemporary rough-house string drone and otherworldly sonics, running across a series of settings populated by haunting Asian vocal transmissions, hallucinatory night-time field recordings...
