Django had immense influence in most 20th century guitar players, directly and indirectly. Many of the biggest Jazz guitarists had tracks or even albums dedicated to him.
"World|Other" is doing a lot of heavy lifting . . . "AfroBeat" is a handwave for a continent larger and more populated than the US, Africa by decades deserves its own map of styles.
As always, I feel like visualizations/"maps" like these always tell us more about the author's biases than it does explaining whatever musical categorization they wanted to explain.
At least Ishkur had fun with their descriptions :)
There are biases all over, hard to avoid; but even Fanshawe's problematic African Sanctus had more breadth and depth of Africa than this chart - and where's the Australian indigenous space-age lounge trip-hop FFS .. ;)
