Definitely check out "The Rough Guide to the Music of Nigeria & Ghana". It's a compilation of Highlife, Fuji, Afrobeat and Juju, and it's absolutely amazing. It's a lot like James Brown and Bob Marley wrapped into one. My favorites are Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe, I.K. Dairo, Tony Allen " Asiko" ( awesome!!). The recording quatlity of this CD is also well above average, presenting a crisp 3d image.
