African Folk

African folk music is a diverse and deeply traditional genre that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the continent. Rooted in storytelling, community rituals, and oral traditions, it often features indigenous instruments such as the mbira, kora, ngoni, and percussion like hand drums or rattles. The melodies are typically rhythmic and repetitive, creating hypnotic grooves that accompany harmonious vocal chants and call-and-response singing. Influenced by regional folklore, nature, and everyday life, African folk artists preserve historical narratives while also blending contemporary influences, offering a heartfelt, organic sound that connects past and present.
