I may be way late to this so forgive me, but I just discovered there's a nonprofit record label within the Smithsonian as part of the Center for Folklife & Cultural Heritage, and its amazing. They have a bunch of great curated albums and playlists, and sell vinyl represses. I found an album from 1976 by David Nzomo called "Gospel Songs From Kenya: Kikambo Hyms" and have been listening to it all week. There's also some weird fun ones like an album of frog sounds or city soundscapes.

Found a cheap vinyl in a market, labelled jazz and blues but definitely folk in actuality, but was not disappointed. Second album release has tripled the monthly listeners, proud of my boy!

i discovered her on togo soul 70, a really great compilation album from togolese musicians (so i would recommend that one too), and since then she has become one of my favorite voices probably ever. if you like soul/folk/funk you will like this! “kimumbu” and “i tcho tchass” are my favorite tracks. really beautiful album

School made us think reading is a holy act. It is not. Its just something to do. Like watching a movie or sports. You aren’t going to be tested by anyone. Read high. Read drunk. Read 2 pages. Read half awake. Remember nothing or just some of it. It really doesn’t matter
