South Africa Today

Culturally complex and multi-racial, with a highly charged history stretching back centuries, South Africa is one of the continent’s largest- and most productive- music industries. In this episode, Afropop will take you on a journey through the South Africa of today, guided by the established luminaries and hot new artists we met at the South African Arts Festival, in Los Angeles, California. Together, we explore the diverse contemporary scene of adventurous rappers, soulful singers, house music producers, and hip electro-pop bands.
