West African music:
West Africa is far-reaching, stretching from the Sahara Desert to the Atlantic Ocean. The region's musical heritage includes a wide variety of popular music styles, especially from the countries of Senegal, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. In addition griots, wandering musicians and praise singers, are found throughout the region, and some musical instruments (like the kora and some kinds of drums) are found in many West African countries.
