Reggae and country are definitely the most popular, though. Like country, reggae music has African roots. The reggae beat is traditional to Africa. The black consciousness and African pride aspects of reggae also help attract fans. Reggae has sparked a new interest in African music overseas, and the African musicians are thankful.
Some folks still have their stereotypes, though.
Rock and jazz were two things I didn't hear much of. Rock musicians such as Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel have been all over Africa learning the music, but many Africans feel that rock is in trouble, that it's running out of good new ideas. Of course, therefore, George Benson outsells Chick Corea and Weather Report, let alone Sun Ra. Now he's writing a classical symphony. The foreign influences of all types aren't the strongest forces changing African music today.
