List of West-African reference albums of Traditional Percussion Music

The following LIST represents no discography, but refers to a short article posted here yet weeks ago, then it remained to be still incomplete; it took some time but actually no efforts until we added —for this occasion— a searchable list on the artist and album names with links to the Google Inc. YouTube and Discography portal search engines — maybe helpful to discover new or known musical tracks… A FURTHER LEGAL EDUCATIONAL RESSOURCE FOR FRIENDS OF AFRICAN MUSIC:
