I love love love Bebel and CeU (my years of Portugese really paid off there, despite what all my teachers said! Eff U!) and I'm also a fan of Panjabi MC. <BR/><BR/>Also, have you heard of Zap Mama? Amazing African group with awesome beats and beautiful singing. Also, this list can't truly be complete without Buena Vista Social Club, or Compay Segundo. <BR/><BR/>Yeah for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
