Sho't Left

For as much as you hear about exports like Afro house and Afrobeats, the continent’s underground scenes are where the real radical moves are being made. From Mzansi’s raw-edged alternative rock through to Kenya’s experimental electronic music, younger artists are finding ways to push things forward while still retaining aspects of local traditions and sounds—a bridge between past and future. Our editors are always changing things here up, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
