What Is Trending Across Africa?
Looking across these markets shows that African music is no longer moving in just one direction.
Nigerian Afrobeats continues to travel widely, showing up in the top charts of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and beyond, while Ghanaian music, South African Amapiano, and East African sounds are also connecting with audiences across the continent.
The same artist can appear in several markets, while local artists can break through outside their home countries. Asake’s presence in both the Kenyan and Ugandan charts this week is a clear example of that reach.
