First of all, here are the MP3 files for all the songs that I played in class for our World Music Quiz.
Now here are some additional video clips from these countries.
First, here are several pieces from different groups in CUBA:

Next, here are several pieces from the Finnish group Värttinä.
For some Tonga-style contemporary Polynesian music, here are four pieces from the popular group Te Vaka. This group actually performed in Seoul several years ago. For an article on their visit to South Korea, click HERE.
There are just so many great musicians from MALI that I have had a difficult time selecting only four, so I have included eight examples here, and hopefully these will give you some idea of Malian music, both its distinctive characteristics (they love electric guitars, but with their unique style), as well as some of their diversity (especially between the desert-dwelling Tuareg people with groups like Tinariwen and Terakaft, and the urban sounds of Ngoni Ba and Fatoumata).
