Heather Maxwell curates a playlist of music from eleven different African countries plus the diaspora. Styles include current hiplife, bongo flava, Wassoulou, indie, electro and more from Ghana (R2Bees), Mali (Fatoumata Diawara), Tanzania (Malaika), Kenya (Phinoshey), South Africa (Master KG), Nigeria (Olamide), Cape Verde (Elida Almeida) and Sierra Leone (Luwiz). She takes us back in time with two vintage tunes from Zambia (Kasama Bantu Actors - 1971) and South Africa (Mariam Makeba - 1960), and at the back half of the hour, Music Time in Africa’s music journalist Bill Odidi spins a special report out of Nairobi spotlighting Kenya’s most exciting new, end of 2020 releases by Octopizzo (ft Idd Aziz), Nyashinski, and Sauti Sol.
