Know any English language rock songs with African themes or sound?

Examples: songs from P.Simon's 'Graceland'; P.Gabriel's 'Biko'; songs from M.Mann's 'Somewhere in Africa'

PETER GABRIEL- Shaking the tree

NENE CHERRY/ YOUSSOU N' DOUR- Seven seconds

Africa ~ by Toto

Other than Paul Simon's 'Graceland' album, that's all I can think of.

Worlds Apart - Bruce Springsteen

In Your Eyes---Peter Gabriel

"Rythym Of The Heat" by Peter Gabriel is a perfect example of that. You will find it on his "Security" album.
