You're right, I didn't have the years correct. My chance to see him in concert was before the pandemic for sure. 

Harris Eisenstadt studied the music of Western Africa in Gambia (I think) and you can hear it in his music.   Also Adam Rudolph and Hartmut Geerken. Probably some other percussionists... maybe Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang too?

yes, doesn't he still spend a lot of time in SA?
