Thomas Mapfumo - Gwindingwi Rine Shumba (1980)
Here is a fantastic album by "The Lion of Zimbabwe" Thomas Mapfumo. Great interwoven guitar parts and shuffling percussion, apparently in the style of Chimurenga (another genre I probably wouldn't be able to name upon hearing, but sure, I'll acknowledge that this isn't simply Afrobeat). This album should be perfect for whenever Spring decides to show up here in the American Midwest...
