For generations, African music has been a vehicle for societal change, a way to preserve traditions and hallmarks of heritage, a medium for connections that transcend borders and a means to celebrate both the things that make us unique, and all that we have in common. Through sounds both classic and contemporary, African artists showcase the broad diversity of the continent’s many cultures and communities. To celebrate everything that Africa Is, we’ve assembled a collection of timeless gems from some of Africa’s greatest cultural custodians and musical revolutionaries, including Youssou N’dour, 2Baba, Magic System, Wizkid, Angelique Kidjo, Aṣa, Cesaria Evora, Omah Lay, Rema, Koffi Olomidé, Burna Boy, Sauti Sol, Fela Kuti and many more.
