At first sight uneligible, but it's one list with history..and one of the most influential in the study of afrobeats.

Re: Africa 100: Joe Tangari (2005)
No opinions about this? I think it's a list with enough landmarks to be considered eligible.

Re: Africa 100: Joe Tangari (2005)
Genre list by a single critic, published online. That makes it ineligible, even if there's a pirate compilation and it's been referenced to by others.
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
