I feel as if western lost media overshadows the media of other continents. I love lost media, and I was curious of there is any lost media from afircan countries. Game shows, Tv shows, movies, lost broadcasts, anything of that sort? I was just wondering.

We actually have a thread somewhere started by users from Africa looking to document and archive the works of various filmmakers from their countries. If you run a thread search for Africa, it should come up but I don't think its been interacted with since last year, maybe.
There's a hell of a lot of African lost media dating back to the various burnings of the Library of Alexandria, if not before.
There's been also a hell of a lot of recovered music and broadcasts thanks to shortwave enthusiasts recording broadcasts.
Thats amazing! Any examples you can point me to?
At this point all I remember are vague mentions and stories on programmes on the American NPR. What I remember are people playing music recorded off shortwave stations located in Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, and the Congos.
