1	Heat, Dust and Dreams (1993) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka add to wishlist A nice album of pieces, with almost lilting vocals coming from lead singer Johnny Clegg, from time to time almost reminiscent of some mixture of Dylan and Springsteen. The guitar work seems slightly influenced by reggae, which wouldn't be too surprising given the half-South African membership of the group. Overall rather pop-like, but a decently ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
2	Putumayo Presents: Africa (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you're trying to be comprehensive, putting together a collection of modern African music could be overwhelming. Africa, after all, is a huge continent, and in the 1990s, it offered an incredibly wide variety of music that ranged from exuberant zouk and soukous to moody, jazz-influenced Ethiopian pop and the Middle Eastern-influenced sounds ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $10.44!
3	The Rough Guide to the Soul Brothers (2001) more music like this by The Soul Brothers add to wishlist At last, listeners finally have a comprehensive compilation of South Africa's legendary Soul Brothers. The Soul Brothers were the first true pop stars of South African music, straight from the townships. With a sound that was equal parts jive, reggae, modern soul, B-3 groove, Nigerian funk, and Aboriginal folk music, the Soul Brothers created a ... see all copies from $13.25! new only from $13.25!
4	Reign & Shine [Wrasse] (2006) more music like this by The Mahotella Queens add to wishlist see all copies from $11.58! new only from $11.58!
5	Rough Guide to the Music of South Africa [2006] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $13.98! new only from $13.98!
6	In My African Dream (2002) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka add to wishlist Globally, Clegg is probably best recalled for "Scatterlings of Africa," understandably the leadoff track here. If not his manifesto (which was established long before his international fame), it makes his point, the mixing of rock and Zulu music, quite succinctly and wonderfully -- and he was doing it long before it became fashionable (indeed, ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $8.99!
7	Best of Johnny Clegg & Savuka: In My African Dream (2002) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka add to wishlist see all copies from $17.70! new only from $17.70!
8	Rough Guide to the Music of Africa (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Rough Guide to the Music of Africa delivers everything the title suggests, offering a fine introduction to artists like Youssou N'Dour, Lucky Dube, Miriam Makeba, Cheikh Lo, Busi Mhlongo, and Mahmoud Ahmed, as well as to the continent's diverse styles, which incorporate acoustic guitars, soulful vocals, and powerful percussion. ~ Heather ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $18.34!
9	African Litany (1982) more music like this by Juluka add to wishlist Juluka's second release with Johnny Clegg, the first album by an integrated rock band in South Africa, went gold in three months. This first single, "Impi," was based on a Zulu war chant and was considered a call to revolution by people in the know. ~ J. Poet, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.00! new only from $34.88!
10	Best of World Music: African (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The ethnic-flavored Putumayo clothing chain had long favored in-store soundtracks of light-textured world music. It was natural that CEO Dan Storper should decide to branch out into the music business, and the label is now respected for its genre compilations and single-artist releases and envied for its impressive sales volume. However, in the ... see all copies from $7.96!
11	Scatterlings (1982) more music like this by Juluka add to wishlist A supergroup that defied racial barriers in their South African homeland, Juluka's album Scatterlings was the first introduction to the band for many Americans. Led by lead singer Johnny Clegg, Scatterlings featured Juluka's blend of African and Western rhythms, melodies, and instrumentation. Clegg delivered his self-penned lyrics in a warm voice ... see all copies from $10.00!
12	Shadow Man (1989) more music like this by Johnny Clegg & Savuka add to wishlist Another album from the multicultural/multiracial groups under Johnny Clegg's direction. The melding of South African styles with Western European pop is standard fare for Clegg, but nonetheless it always comes out sounding pretty good. There's a careful blending that doesn't always swing too far in either direction. The only real problem with the ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $12.05!
13	Tales of South African Afropop (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!

19	Tj Today (1989) more music like this by The Boyoyo Boys add to wishlist The Boyoyo Boys, a four-member South African ensemble, offered boiling-hot examples of 1980s township music on this ten-cut disc. As saxophonists Lukas Pelo and Thomas Phale provided a mix of outside riffs and funky, bluesy licks, bassist Vusi Xhosa laid down booming lines, with guitarist Vusi Nkosi skittering, flickering and riding the waves atop ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!

22	Sebai Bai (2001) more music like this by Mahotella Queens add to wishlist This is the attempted comeback album from Mahotella Queens on the Western market. Unfortunately, the album followed the deaths of the three most instrumental people to the sound of the Queens (aside from the Queens themselves, that is), as their longtime producer, West Nkosi, died, followed closely by master guitarist Marks Mankswane and groaner ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
23	Mega Africa (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Mega Africa has an expansive 100 tracks spread over four discs. Heavy on what is generally termed "Afro pop," this collection still does a credible job of mixing in divergent styles and rhythms, including tracks by Zap Mama, Césaria Évora, Miriam Makeba, Papa Wemba, Lucky Dube, King Sunny Ade, Johnny Clegg, and many others. ~ Steve Leggett, All ... see all copies from $59.83!
24	Images of Africa (1999) more music like this by Valanga Khoza add to wishlist see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
25	Siyabamukela (1989) more music like this by Amaduduzo add to wishlist Amaduduzo is a powerful a cappella group whose unison vocals and intriguing mix of traditional African language and Christian influences make for a powerful blend of multiple spiritual sources. The 10 numbers have breathtaking harmonies, understated but clearly felt rhythmic counterpoint and superb leads from Ronny Bodibe, Daniel Mgudiwa and David ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $16.13!
