Djeli Moussa Diawara.

In fact, it's a main ingredient of FlamenKora, a captivating CD by African pop artist Djeli Moussa Diawara. The term African pop is applied to an incredibly wide variety of styles - everything from the most exuberant, danceable, and hyper of soukous, makossa, and zouk to moody, jazzy, noir-ish sounds from Ethiopia and the Sudan - and Diawara's pop is definitely on the moody side. Not for dancing, Diawara's very reflective and haunting material is strictly for listening and finds the singer/kora player combining African pop with a variety of Latin music.
