Here are a few to check out:

Kikagaku Moyo

Goat

Fela Kuti

Khruangbin

Ali Farka Toure and his son Vieux Farka Toure (who did a album with Khruangbin)

Mdou Moctar

William Onyabor

Also, discogs.com is pretty good for searching for world music.

Thank you, noted!

I already know Mdou Moctar from your list and I like his music.

Mdou Moctar is a Nigerian artist, so I would suggest checking out more from there. Fela Kuti and William Onyabor are both Nigerian as well, plenty of great stuff out of Nigeria.

You might also be interested in Witch from Zambia who started a whole genre called "zamrock".

I would also highly recommend checking out My Analog Journal on Youtube, it's basically DJ sessions of world music.

Thanks! As I noted I'm a previous comment, I know and follow My Analog Journal and I agree it has a ton of great content.
