A User's Guide to the Music of Africa Site
Making the most of Music of Africa, including our Pick of the Week and other features, our music coverage broken down by country, and our YouTube playlists.
Music of Africa began offering song recommendations, information, reviews, and more in September, 2023. We're still at it.
We cover music from across Africa, but our initial focus was on music of southern Africa (especially Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and South Africa). Lately, we're covering some music from eastern Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania).
Because we've published several posts a week since getting underway, our archive is getting large. So here are some tips for getting around.
Pick of the Week
We feature a new pick - usually a song - every Saturday. There are more than eighty of them so far. Click the link above to see them all.
Our Favorite Countries
These are the countries we've focused on so far. I'm still kind of partial to Botswana, Malawi and Zimbabwe, but they're all worth a look/listen.
Other Favorites
A few favorites and some reviews.
