I couldn't find another thread on African music. Sorry if I missed it.
I thought this article on music censorship in Zimbabwe was interesting:

Wow. The fact that governments will censor music just goes to show how powerful a song can be.

Quote:
Ghost names
Some artists have resorted to using ghost names and then leaking their music on to the underground market. Once a song is leaked there is no way that an artist will face criminal charges because for one he uses apseudonym and there is no tracing where his music originates. When artists do that they do not seek any financial or any gain what so ever but just to drive their message to the people who stay in a highly censored environment.


This is really something right here.

A government can't censor thoughts, once they've been thought of and shared. (via music)
