2005 promotion. The article has a strong lack of citations. The citations that are already there are too reliant on teritary sources, such as the Stern work, which is an introductory guide and only glosses over all aspects of African music.

I don't follow why File:IKDairo.png and File:FemiKuti.jpg are GFDL but used with courtesy from a web site which claims copyright. The fair use rationales for the clips are very weak. "So-and-so is very popular." isn't an adequate reason. There should be critical analysis, explaining why this music is different from other genres or musicians and how this particular clip captures the style of music or the key features of the genre, etc. DrKiernan (talk) 10:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
