Africa in America 2008
on Afropop Worldwide
Amazingly, some of the most creative and interesting African music acts springing onto the scene are not based in Africa anymore. For years, Afropop Worldwide has spotlighted the work of Africans making bands in the United States, and talented American musicians creating African music. The crop keeps getting better. This music-rich edition samples the techno roots fusion of Burkina Electric, the Kenyan benga meets rock 'n' roll fusion of Extra Golden, desert blues innovations from Markus James, new music from Leni Stern, Akoya Afrobeat, and from the country's burgeoning Shona music community, and more.
