How does Africa rock? Let us count the ways. Part 12 of an ongoing series that dives deep into the realm of rock fusion from north, south, east, west and central Africa, from the 1960s to the present. Replete with searing guitars, driving rhythms, punching basslines, swirling keyboards, hard-hitting horns and more – with universal themes such as love, politics and the human condition.
"Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich.
