Publisher Websites

These are some recommended publishers of African music cds.

To submit a link: we focus on educational links and links which are specific to our genre-issues, with a few exceptions. Just email us with 'link please' in the subject line. A brief description of the site is also useful. 

1. Lusafrica: Cesaria Evora's label, useful for news and listings: the commercial portion of the site is inactive.

2. Putumayo: Has all kinds of world music but a very strong African selection. This link brings you to a quite handy 'country map': click on Africa for Africa-specific publications:

3. Tinder Records: NOTE: emails kickback and the site is being 'redesigned' so don't order here, but use the site for locating sold descriptions of artists, then go elsewhere to purchase.

4. Gallo Africa: a South African recording company, Gallo is one of the top four regional music cd publishers: this link reaches their 'African Zone'. Slow-loading for those on dial-up, but worth the wait:
