Hey Claudio,
Exciting times for the current FlipSwitchPR lineup. Somehow I currently have a variety of African projects (releases and tours) that you might find interesting. East African pop, West African blues, Ethiopian reggae, Central African, South African, and more!
Below is a comprehensive list with links to each press kit. Let me know what sounds interesting!
Mzungu Kichaa - Tanzanian Transplant; Mzungu Kichaa with East African EP - 05/16/2014 - Release
Mzungu Kichaa, or ‘crazy white man’, a caucasian making Tanzanian music. Kichaa’s heritage can be confusing when his lyrics are in Swahili, but most of the artists he is surrounded by are natives from African countries. This implies no contradiction as his efforts show what is truly essential to making music, shown on 'Relax'

Noura Mint Seymali - Mauritanian Blues; Noura Mint Seymali New Release and Tour - 06/20/2014 - Release (ON TOUR)
Noura Mint Seymali, from Mauritania, comes from an ancient family of griots, and she has a commanding, wide-open voice…the pentatonic melodies of her songs had something in common with the blues. But her fusion was particular and selective…She only meets American music on her own terms. +++New York Times, January 13th, 2014
