	I would also recommend King Sunny Ade, whose records are just
beginning to be available here (he has two American releases now, on
Mangoe Records). He is a Yoruba prince in Nigeria but he is not
politically involved in the way that Fela is (Fela is a prince of 
another tribe, either the Ibo or the Ashanti, I don't remember). Sunny
Ade has toured the US twice and might again this summer - if he comes to
your area, by all means go see him for a powerful show.
