Guinean singer Mory Kante, who helped introduce African music to a world audience in the 1980s, died on Friday in the capital Conakry after a long illness, his son Balla Kante told AFP. Kante is best known for his song "Yeke Yeke," which was a huge hit in Africa before becoming a No. 1 in several European countries in 1988. cv-lal/eml/ri
