The Songs You Need to Hear This Week

The best African music of the week featuring Nakhane, Ruger, Disiz, Maya Amolo, Erigga, Sun-el Musician, Msaki, and more.


Michigan-based producer Sango makes a jump from producing incredible Weeknd remixes to craft an 8-track baile funk-influenced album.

Stream the album its entirety and grab it as a name-your-price.
