so the chances that there are filesharer isn't very high.
maybe there are exil africans who share, but i'm not sure.

africans are victim of acculturation (you can call it a cultural genocide) since the time of the colonies and their own litteratura/films are mainly released/available in occidental countries so your statement is wrong.

to answer the question, the biggest african films collection i've seen so far is on Karagarga (MoM: African cinema - mars 2006). tehre are also 'african music' such as the prophet collection (traditionnal music from several countries/ethnies of west africa).

if you need some suggestions about interesting films/documentaries or even litteratura from Africa, don't hesitate to pm me.

What does this have to do with my statment about internet penetration? The figures might be a little higher today, but broadband penetration (which you need for fileharing) is still around 1-2%. Since most of these subscribers are concentrated in the four northern African countries, Sub-Saharan Africa (Black Africa) has an even lower broadband penetration of 0.12 per 100 inhabitants. But yeah my statment is totally wrong. I'm sure that the folks down there have nothing better to do than make Black African torrent sites for filesharing

You mentioned yourself that African culture is shared mainly outside of Africa. Something I also suggested in my old statment. Sow how was I wrong?

Thanks for repeating something I already suggested to the OP two years ago by the way.

P.S. To all the people who made racist remarks in this thread. Go back to your redneck shitholes and fuck yourself!

P.P.S Musical recommendation for people interested: Tony Allen - Secret Agent (2009)
