East Africa>>
we can divide the eastern african style into two different catogries, the kenyan-tanzanian-congolian-zairian style, and the sudanese-somali-ethiopian-eritrean style .. 
since you all u know about the sudanese style (am assuming), then i dont need to talk about the sudanese-somali-ethiopian-eritrean style. will go strait to the kenyan-tanzanian-congolian-zairian style (i know these are weird long names, but hey, this is my post...my biography, and i call whatever i wanna call 
this style is really a nice sweet style. guitars with all thier kinds are very important in this style. happy songs and love songs are the basic themes. the swahili language is the dominant language here. swahilis musician are well known of thier adaptation to foriegn styles, like reggae, and hip hop. the classic style is the sweet rhythm songs...in a way much like the jalowwa of south sudan (ps.the jalowwa of south sudan is a sweet combination of the western african music with the kenyan style...that is just my opinion out of my own experience).
i can say that the swahili classic style is alot similar to the haiwaian style....i know many people will now know what i mean 
here are some of the artists of this style:
Jabali Africa: a band that resides in canada..originally from Kenya. dancers, drummers, and song writers. they make many tours in canada and USA. sing in english, and swahili.
Hukwe Zawose: born in Tanzania, taught himself to sing and play ilimba (giant thumb piano) while herding his father's cows. Zawose also plays izezs (traditional violins), filimbi (traditional flute), and nguga (ankle bells).(african music encyclobedia).
Diblo Dibala: from Zair. a lead guitarist, and one of the hotest in africa.
that's all for the eastern african music...i guess we still have one more to go...please show some support
