For those still waiting, Paul Westwood's Bass Bible has multiple chapters dedicated to various African styles / players.
All too brief (~40 pages), considering the breadth of the subject, but it's the only published analysis of African bass styles I know of.
That's true. I forgot about that one. Have the book but haven't opened it in probably 20 years. I should revisit it.
