Tbh it’s not just African music, I find it’s anything not Western. So many cool instruments that just aren’t used that commonly in the mainstream. I’ve been really enjoying a metal band called Bloodywood as they incorporate traditional Indian instruments and I’ve not heard anything like it before
Thanks for reco, actually heard about Alien Weaponry first due to close proximity (I am Australian). A YouTuber called Steve Terreberry did a video reviewing a heap of culturally diverse bands that I should rewatch (it’s where I found Bloodywood) just be aware his persona is pretty grating and cringe and I can only tolerate in doses. https://youtu.be/USCB3pucSJU
