The pan-Africanist ideal never died—it morphed into hybridized sonic fragments that connect Joburg to Nairobi via Lagos and Accra. One of the latest testaments to the continent’s far-reaching musical ingenuity is JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela’s The Most Wanted. “This album is more than music, it’s a cultural statement,” JAZZWRLD tells Apple Music. “We wanted to create something that speaks to the times, something that moves people everywhere, whether they understand the lyrics or not. The Most Wanted is about connecting through rhythm, energy, and spirit.” Hear music from the album on Africa Now, alongside everything else hot and new with roots in the continent, and hype up your library by adding anything that vibrates in lockstep with your beat.
