Bachata Rose - Juan Luis Guerra, merengue and other DR sounds
Pon Moun Paka Bouge - Pepe Kalle, soukous from Kinshasa
Vini Pou - Kassav', the superstars of zouk, one of the greatest bands to ever exist. French Antilles.
Aretha's Gold - her first greatest hits album of her early and best songs.

Marley, Guerra, and Kassav' all have phenomenal song writing and arranging skills, extraordinary talents.

Modern sounds built off the great musical heritage of their respective countries.

there are hundreds of others I could name. There are whole genres of music I love that I haven't even listed.
