African
The "African" music genre is a rich and diverse sonic landscape that blends traditional rhythms, local languages, and modern influences. Rooted in folk traditions like Mande griot storytelling, kora melodies, and high-energy percussion, it also embraces contemporary sounds such as Afrobeats, soukous, and hip-hop fusion. Artists often incorporate call-and-response vocals, intricate guitar work, and layered harmonies, creating music that is rhythmic, melodic, and deeply expressive. Whether influenced by West African Manding traditions, Madagascan salegy, or modern electronic production, African music remains a powerful force, celebrating culture, history, and innovation.
