every time someone says that 80's music sucked, i use the Talking Heads for an example of how revolutionary some of the 'art music' was during that time.
i never picked up on those African influence rhythms until now. thanks for that!
(also loved the TomTomClub)

re: Nigerian funk- the Funkees are cool!
save the vinyl

Fela Kuti gets mentioned as a Talking Heads influence...

Saw the Stop Making Sense tour at the Merriwether Post Pavilion.
Never saw so many white folk getting funky, in one place, all at the same time.
Thievery Corporation show in Portland was a close second.

Talking heads more than partially = Brian Eno. The maestro.

listen to the movie DVD "1 GIANT LEAP," or the second one, "What about Me..?"

Youll be blown away. They are on youtube.

Oh yeah, as said above. Definitely Natacha Atlas, even though She is Belgian.
