Call it alté, call it the new alternative, call it whatever you want. Fresh, light and just a little off-centre, the tracks here point away from the mainstream to somewhere genuinely new, with a wave of genre-bending artists whose sound is transforming West African music. Our editors update selections here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
