Music of Africa's Best of 2024...So Far
A brief "state of the site" address and a few favorites from 2024.
Please consider supporting Music of Africa with a paid subscription or a social media boost. Ngiyabonga.
Dumelang. Before musing upon what good things 2024 has brought...
A big thank you to everyone who has subscribed to and followed and otherwise interacted with Music of Africa so far.
I've been doing this for about eight months and things are starting to pick up. I'd be remiss (I guess) if I didn't point out that we have a paid subscriber option. But so far all content at the site is available for free.
When I started this project, I had a notion that I would do in-depth writing about African music - reviews, articles, maybe some interviews, and whatever. That plan fell by the wayside.
I realized that what I liked best was seeking out great music and sharing it. So that's mostly what I do now. Recommendations, with some background information included, when I can find it. Stay tuned for more.
Here are my highlights from 2023.
Since we're about five months into 2024, I'm sharing five songs that grabbed me so far this year - in no particular order.
