Top 7 African Music Collaborations of 2016

While many African governments continue to drag their feet on opening their borders and welcoming the concept of a united Africa with no boundaries, Africa’s biggest musical acts have been quietly uniting the continent one song at a time with collaborations that create music that resonates in the hearts and ears of the people irrespective of language or region.

For example, African artists, such as Tanzanian Diamond Platnumz can get the crowd on its feet in Lagos, Nigeria, just as easily as he would in Dar es Salaam or Arusha.

As the year wraps up and we prepare our holiday playlist, Face2Face Africa brings you a countdown of the seven biggest African music collaborations of 2016.
