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.

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you.
