African singers

I explored the Afropop website, reading information about all different kinds of African singers. Youssou n'Dour is one of the famous singers listed on webpage. He has traveled all over the world performing music from his culture and adding different sounds Youssou is a Goodwill ambassador of UNICEF and is involved with human rights.  Another singer, Oumou Sangare, is from Mali. She has a bluesy beat to her songs. Sangare is involved with female rights, you can recongize this by her lyrics.  Here is a link to Youssou's web page where you can learn more about him and listen to some of his music.  Also Sangare has a myspace page which you can listen to her music and learn more about her too.
