Contemporary African Music is not getting the credit it deserves - eviltoast

I am on a binge, listening to tons of Nigerian, Ugandan and Kenian music, and I am absolutely loving it. Why is this not playing on our (Western European) radio stations regularly?

Instead I have to regularly change stations because someone is trying to torture my ears with Ed Sheeran or similar BS. :(

    I do occasionally hear Indian or Arabic or Chinese / Japanese music around… It’s just that until recently I hadn’t ever heard the present-day (central?) African pop songs that I stumbled upon and enjoyed. But yes, the western music world is too western-centric, but at the current state of the world, that’s not our biggest problem by far :/
