“In this playlist I give the legends a second look and a more sympathetic listen away from the anthems we have come to love them for,” South African composer and singer-songwriter Msaki tells Apple Music of her exclusive Africa Month playlist. “I have also included younger voices with a sure place in the future African songbook.” Her selections reflect her thoughts on the continent’s rich legacy—and its bright future. “These are songs for celebrating the young with the bravado and introspection to match,” she says. “I hope these become songs to fight political and personal inertia, songs to awaken love, songs to connect spirit and story to place and history, songs to remember and dream with.”
