As an English guy with no African heritage (and having only visited the African mainland for the first time last year), I listen to African music simply because it is there. Sure, it gives me an insight into other cultures, and it interests me from an ethnomusicological perspective, but primarily I'm a music fan and it has never made sense for me to NOT listen to music from all over the world.
