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".

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.

That's the thing about KGLW, they are all over the place in style. That being said, their signature sound is I'm In Your Mind Fuzz and Nonagon Infinity. Check out these songs for sure though (listed by release date):

Head On/Pill

The River

I'm In Your Mind Fuzz (first 4 songs from the album are one song)

Crumbling Castle

The Dripping Tap

Iron Lung

K is a tough one. You got King Gizzard, Kikagaku Moyo. King Crimson, Kruangbin, Kamasi Washington. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
