I am South African and I find African music to be more Rhythmic and feeling based, time signatures are sometimes ingored or complex. Most of the African music isn't recorded and is memorized.

Western music is pretty much the opposite: There are time signitures, and the music is recorded.

Of course, this is a generalization as different places in Africa will have different music and modern music is blurring the differences between styles of music.
