Africana

So while i was listening to some songs to post on my last post, i kept bumping into some really awesome african music. To be honest growing up i HATED african music (I'm Kenyan)...and couldn't stand it but now that i'm semi-mature and semi-wiser i've come to not only appreciate it but love it. Well almost all of it...lol

But a new generation of African Artists have emerged that have made renew my interest in my country. The whole point of this blog is to give a forum to otherwise unheard or underrepresented music. I want to educate as well as entertain.
