Rec me music, part 2!

[oyceter]

I still haven't decided what music to get yet! I'm trying to listen to everything and pick what I like.

So... Does anyone have more recs for happy, bouncy music by women of color? I looked at my music library, and it is embarrassingly white.

Happy and bouncy? Well, hmm. I'm not sure if this qualifies exactly as that, but, M.I.A. has a new album out that is interesting.

I guess Thalia is happy and bouncy and poppy, and so is Shakira (both are Spanish language).

And Zuco 103 has a Brazillian front woman, and they are pretty good.

Have you heard of Zap Mama? They have great harmonies.

That should be a good start.

I second Zap Mamma and mention also Angelique Kudjo. Some of her albums are peppier than others however.

Oh and for pop music there's Samantha Mumba.

I love M.I.A. and so second the rec, though I suspect that she is not the sort of bouncy you are looking for.

A second and third and however many more it takes for Zap Mama.
