He is Back!

South African Kabelo.

He is one of the original innovators of the South African urban genre of music called 'Kwaito'.

After not releasing anything for a while, he is back with an awesome collabo with one of the biggest House music artists in South Africa, 'Professor'.

Kabelo is a member of the groundbreaking Kwaito group TKZee. This video is of a song that they did in their heyday back in the 1990's.

Jailer

Asa from Nigeria.

She was recently featured on 'African Voices' on CNN.

She has a rich and velvety voice, and has a sound different from most other African, male and female, singers.

Outlandish - Guantanamo

This group is from Denmark.

They have been huge in Europe for some time now, with a big following in the rest of the world.

This song was the one that first attracted me to them, and I have been following them for years since.

Most of their music has a political message. And they are interesting because they come from an immigrant background, and their music crosses over different genres, but they remain relevant in mainstream European music as well. 

They are pioneers.  

Matisyahu "King Without A Crown"

Nneka - Soul Is Heavy

Love the message and passion in this song.

Very few female African artists are producing this type of music, and getting the airplay that this artist is getting.
