Gonna dump as many of my non-native (diaspora) song and artist suggestions as possible as I can because why not.
Some will be native regardless, and I will mark them accordingly to help out with native artist editions.
basil (Suggested timeslot from 2:37 or 2:41, Radia Menel is native and based in Algeria)
(Also eligible for
Lux , check out the remixes of this too)
suyana (How has this not been used yet??? Suggested timeslot from 2:18)
(
Artist suggestion ONLY!!! Do
NOT use this song, it is the current
Portuguese entry at Own Eurovision)
glegendary (Native artist, suggested timeslot somewhere around 1:30)
(Another native artist, suggested timeslot from around 2:44)
Cousäng (I know you want to use more native artists, but go to 2:10 and tell me this isn't a masterpiece)
(Seydina appears to be native)
regalgoose (Check out his discography, he has some bangers)
Chante™ (tbh I don't think you need them, but I have my fun)
ferret (I appear to have lost the significantly better unofficial video. Troyboi is also eligible for
thomas (inactive) )
uhsting (I think I've suggested this before, but here it is again because cmon. Suggested timeslot from 2:10, also eligible for
)
(You're telling me this hasn't been used yet???)
(Native artist, and an impressive one at that)
Kinoshita! (Paije has grown up in like half of Africa (hyperbole). Off the top off my head I can remember
Mark K. MG Jan and
Sel . Suggested timeslot from 0:38)
joshua (That big suggestion I talked about in my final results reaction. Suggested timeslot from something like 0:43 or 0:49. Bholoja & LO are native as far as I'm aware)
(I mentioned the timeslot from about 1:53 onwards in my final reaction post.
Asylum is not one song, but a mashup of Uncle Waffles' discography. The song in this segment is called Yahyuppiyah. Native to Africa)
(Suggested timeslot from like 1:18 but it's a loose suggestion. Also eligible for
adamantios and
TitleTheNon )
(Guilty pleasure, suggested timeslot from 3:27)
(May have slightly too many South Africans to be eligible for eSwatini. The remixer is also from
Rwanda)
Wys (I'll dump a bunch of suggestions on you when non-European language edition rolls up, they're my best Ethiopian songs)
(I have an RV stashed aware somewhere but I'd recommend getting your own)
(I can't believe Sophia Ayana has been use twice and neither of her songs are this banger)
No HoD
(I have an RV for this starting at like 1:38. Also usable during a non-European languages editions.)
Mark K. MG (like Chante, I'm sure you'll be better off without these, they're just for the vibe)
(Nadia Rose is the relation. Also she's Stormzy's cousin.)
(I have an RV for this, starting at 4:28. M.I.M.E. is the relation, he is the rapper)
Jan holidayyyyyyy (Suggested timeslot for the audio is 2:30. He removed the music video and I am SO ANGRY about that because it was a masterpiece. It can still be found through
this link (please click this text), though it does not appear to work on my laptop. You can see what it should look like in
this Instagram post (click here) from when I used it at a contest years ago. Flexfab is Swiss but has been based in Kenya since 2019, The Venopian Solitude are a band from Malaysia)
(Suggested timeslot from 2:08, also eligible for
adamantios )
Chim (Please, this would be soooo iconic! Suggested timeslot from 2:04)
fuerte (inactive) (Sidenote, I use this for RVs all the time)
Joe (Check out her other songs too)
ukraineofcourse (There is an RV for this somewhere on YouTube called "mauritius rv" so it's borderline impossible to find unless I go through my DMs on my contest account. They seem to be native to the island. Maybe save this for a native edition because last edition was certainly ... a choice)
Qual (Native because cmon it's Mayotte)
Anton (Can we just appreciate how there are 4 people on this song and absolutely none of them are based in Africa lmao. Timeslot from 1:39 or 1:44, something like that)
(He is born, raised and based in Morocco. He uses a lot of samples, so you may wanna ask Chante about Own contest eligibility if you ever use one of his songs. Check out his others too, similar styles but some better are than others.)
(Also relates to
Apostolis as you can see in the thumbnail lol. Please check for eligibility with Chante before attempting to use this song.)
Luiri (Absolute masterpiece, you would be a fool not to use this at some point. Suggested timeslot from 2:00)

(Suggested timeslot from something like 2:43. Native Namibian)
thomas (inactive) (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation haha)
Sylwia (Can't resist suggesting my third or fourth most streamed song of all-time, my best contribution to fandom contests, a fully native Rwandan masterpiece)
No debut
(From Ascension Island, which is counted as part of the Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan Da Cunha overseas territory in this contest)
