afropop cheat sheet
I was reading about soukous, coupé décaler, and makossa today and I found this page on the BBC site that is a sort of glossary of African pop music terms. It also encompasses Caribbean and some Latin American music. Very interesting reading.
It seems like an interesting mashup would be to take this glossary and build a set of YouTube API queries so you could click on a term to get some examples. (Does that make me a geek for thinking of that?) If you want to see something like that, leave a comment and let me know.
