First of all there were rumours she was in Ghana when I was there last December, but nobody had any confirmation - she was clearly there was filming this video
Secondly! If any of you have Disney+ then watch the Black Is King movie she created, she's retelling the Lion King to the music of her The Gift album, but it's done in a relatable way to all of us, it's beautiful. Uses so many different African & African American cultural imagery.
It's shot all over Africa, you can really see the beauty of the continent.
I'm just speechless
If I wasn't lazy, I'd write a book on the origin and rise of Afrobeats (as distinguished from Afrobeat of Fela fame). The article doesn't do it justice; Oliver Twist from D'Banj was more of the music becoming mainstream to a wider audience, but I would say it was a false start. Now If? Come Closer? Ye? Don't Rush? Now we're talking.
I haven't had a chance to listen but I am excited!Ahem! @Rasendori @villain
New Wizkid.
(It's more of a calm album but a lot of the songs are jams honestly).
I prefer Soundman to this one but it's in the same mellow vibe.I haven't had a chance to listen but I am excited!
I prefer calm Wiz, he can carry the saxophone melodies effortlessly - if it's anything like the 'SoundMan Vol 1' album? I'm listening to it non stop
Perfect, might have to make a playlist that can blend the two in that caseI prefer Soundman to this one but it's in the same mellow vibe.
Missed this, as I was banned at the time. Just heard Ginger. Issa vibeAhem! @Rasendori @villain

Sorry mate, no idea how I missed this at the time.Edit - @WeePat Wasn't familiar with Alikaba, thanks for sharing. What did you make of Kenya?
Sounds awesome. Can only imagine how relaxing that would've been for you. Funnily enough, I compiled research during quarantine, concerning places to explore marine life / partake in water sports and Mombasa was one of the names I came across. I see, Was Alikaba (post #145) ) not part of the playlist then? If Chelsea win the Champions League, what better way to celebrate than by paying for my ticket.Sorry mate, no idea how I missed this at the time.
Kenya was fantastic. Spent most of it on the beaches in Mombasa. The street food was so good. I have a playlist of all the bangers at the time that I listen to sometimes when I feel like going down memory lane.
Mombasa is a fantastic place. It's on the coast so the atmosphere was less stuffy and cloudy than Nairobi, and the beaches will filled with welcoming locals. I had completely forgotten about Alikiba, in all honesty, so he wasn't on my playlist until very recently.Sounds awesome. Can only imagine how relaxing that would've been for you.

Great EP
Not really the precise genre this thread is for but didn't know where else post this, so, you know sue me
A friend of mine sent me this Somali song, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of Somali music. Very interesting culture. One thing that stood out to me is the beats are always so catchy.
He's been on a really good streak. Hoping to see him live soon.
At the timing of my post, it was the first I'd heard of him. See him live in US or Nigeria?He's been on a really good streak. Hoping to see him live soon.
