African Traditional
African Traditional music is a diverse and culturally rich genre rooted in the indigenous sounds, rhythms, and storytelling traditions of the continent. It features intricate percussion, native stringed instruments like the kora and ngoni, and powerful vocal expressions, often intertwined with call-and-response patterns. Influences range from West African griot traditions to East African spiritual chants and Saharan desert blues. The genre preserves local histories and customs, blending ancestral wisdom with evolving contemporary elements while remaining deeply tied to African identity and heritage.
