Juanito Makandé

One of the most recurrent and elusive clichés in music jargon is the concept of ‘authenticity'. It is recurrent because it is the Holy Grail of musicians and what they all strive for; it is elusive because it is hard to define what, and especially who, is and is not authentic.

Well, Juanito Makandé is authentic and aside from his albums, there is a great deal of additional proof to back this up.
