I also enjoy Hiplife music from Ghana, and African music in general (it's certainly better than the music Africans outside of Africa make).

The Bauls are wandering minstrels of Bengal. They include Muslims and Hindus, and among the latter, Vaishnavs and Tantriks. And they are also non-denominational, singing of the heart’s yearning for the unitive state. The songs of Fakir Lalon Shah and Hason Raja are among the most well-known Baul songs. Baul songs have been declared "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.

Nat King Cole- Walkin' My Baby Back Home

(I am, however, not so sure whether this is non-European music because it sounds very American (thus European), despite being sung by someone of Afro descent).

For some reason I've been listening to funk a lot.

Do we include here European-style music performed by non-Europeans? For example i like Vanessa-Mae.
