Spoek Mathambo, South Africa
This genre, which I should probably add to my list, is called "Afro-Futurism". Spoek Mathambo is part of a new breed of African artists, a new wave of energy in Africa, which is intent on nurturing a sense of progressiveness while maintaining a pride in culture.
Most recently, Spoek Mathambo has finished recording his solo album, "Mshini Wam" for BBE. The album is a sign to the world of what Africa has in store in terms of progressive electronic music. Spoek has risen to become one of the foremost recognised exporters of the new South African club music (which he has coined as Township Tech). I find his style to be inspiring, esthetically and musically.
Here is his newest video:
