When it comes to contemporary Afro-pop music, the continent’s youthful generation is breaking new ground to tell the African story in their own distinct and iconic ways. Since its beginnings with Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti in the 1960s, Afro-pop music has spread across the African continent, making itself known across the world.
