Send us Fan MailWe keep hearing “AI” and thinking machines. We're flipping that meaning to something older and, in many ways, more urgent: African Intelligence. After reflecting on five years of the World Cafe Live Show, we zoom in on a question that hits culture, education, and identity all at once: why do so many people treat African knowledge as something to hide, downplay, or dismiss, even when it solves real problems every day?We break intelligence down into a practical idea: information gathered, interpreted, and turned into decisions. From there, we talk about what gets lost when a society relies only on oral tradition without strong systems for documentation, data capture, and teaching across generations. A standout story follows a grandfather's experience as a fisherman navigating Nigeria's coastal waters by using the stars and reading wind direction to anticipate rain and seasonal change. That's indigenous knowledge systems, environmental literacy, and applied science, whether or not a textbook gives it a name.We also look at African sound, percussion, Afrobeat, and amapiano as proof of complex cultural engineering that the world already celebrates, and we ask what it would look like to bring that same confidence into education, African engineering, cuisine, botany, biology, and geography. The closing message stays grounded: don't chase being “better.” Own being different, and let your difference complement the world.If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners find the conversation.

Their comeback single, 'Ohema', an Afro-infused pop track from their EP, was released on 24 July 2026. 'Ohema' is derived from the Akan word for "queen" (or Ohemaa) in Ghana. The project marks both a return and a reinvention, staying true to the emotional storytelling and soaring vocal performances that made fans fall in love with them, while embracing fresh sonic influences such as Afrobeats and 3-step. The result is a mature, confident and beautifully evolved sound that reflects the women they are today. More than just a comeback, 'Full Circle' is a celebration of legacy, sisterhood and growth. On Friday, 14 August, Jacky, Mariechan and Liesl joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to celebrate the new music.

From infectious Afrobeats and Ghanaian bangers to soulful Amapiano grooves, this mix is packed with nothing but feel-good energy. Featuring music from Victony, Asake, Stonebwoy, Black Sherif, DopeNation, Davido, Shakira & Burna Boy, Young Jonn, Bella Shmurda, Mavo, SSSoundGawd and more, every transition is crafted to keep the vibe flowing from start to finish. Whether you're driving, chilling, working out, or turning up with friends, this is the soundtrack for every moment. Press play and let DJ Loft take you on another unforgettable cruise. Grooves Only.

Everyone's arguing about whether Tyla should've cancelled her Lagos show. Femi Makx aka Oluwafemi Makanjuola is asking a different question: what happens when this becomes the new normal?In one week, Tyla's Nigeria concert disappeared, Ayra Starr got denied entry into South Africa, and a Nigerian senator called for visa retaliation against South African artists. Three separate headlines. One pattern. In this solo breakdown, Femi traces where this is actually heading, and why the artists caught in the middle might be the first casualties of a crisis they didn't create.Amapiano is in every Nigerian playlist. Afrobeats runs through South African clubs. That relationship is now on the clock.

I covered the Oyo State meth lab bust: billions in drugs, five suspects, a Mexican trafficking expert arrested. It got me thinking about a different side of Nigeria's drug problem, one law enforcement can't touch. For most young Nigerians, drugs weren't first understood on the streets. They were first heard in a song.On this episode of The Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, I sat down with Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy at the NDLEA, to talk about drugs, music, and Nigeria's entertainment industry. I asked him directly: Are artists responsible for glorifying drug use in their lyrics? Do celebrities get protected from arrest while smaller, independent artists take the fall? Can an artist battling addiction trust the NDLEA enough to ask for help without being exposed? And does using drugs actually make anyone more creative, or is that the biggest lie in the music industry?His answers reveal a side of the NDLEA most Nigerians never hear about, including a confidential rehabilitation program that has treated Nigerian celebrities without their names ever going public.This episode covers Afrobeats, addiction, fame, drug culture, youth influence, and the NDLEA's real approach to Nigeria's entertainment industry, straight from the agency's own Director of Media and Advocacy.Topics: NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, Afrobeats, drug addiction, Nigerian music industry, youth culture, rehabilitation, Femi Makx, The Artiste Hangout

In this special episode we introduce you to a fast-paced, emotional sound built from the streets of Lagos, Nigeria. We follow DJ Khalifa, the pioneer behind the sound, from DJing on a phone in a hostel to collaborating with CKay and catching the ear of Afrobeats stars. We also hear what it means for a street sound to go global and what's at stake if it does. Is this Nigerian EDM? We'll let you decide. Produced by FayFay APWW #880

IN THE MIX W/ DJ DEE MONEY - AFROBEATS, AMAPIANO AND MORE JULY 17,2026 by DJ Dee Money

Jazz-funk brass band EMEFE didn't plan on getting back together after their indefinite hiatus in 2016. Everyone involved with the project at the time, including founding member and drummer Miles Francis, went on to pursue other musical endeavors, until one of their 2015 album tracks, titled “Sun Spat,” began to gain some traction online years later. “We never heard from anybody from Spotify or any of these companies. It truly felt like people listening,” says Francis, highlighting this rare experience at a time when artists fought for attention like never before. After millions of streams, fan covers of the song emerged and EMEFE couldn't ignore the buzz anymore. Shortly after their reunion, they recorded a new album, aptly titled Forward. Now, they're back on the road as a 10-piece band, with Doug Berns on bass, Jake Pinto on keys, Jas Walton on tenor sax, Lynn Ligammari on baritone sax, Jackie Coleman on trumpet, Aani Kisslinger on trombone, Alden Harris-McCoy and Tony Jarvis on guitars, and Javier Ramos on congas and shekere. We managed to fit them all into our studio to bring you their special performance of afrobeat-infused EMEFE songs, old and new, for this edition of Soundcheck. (- Sırma Munyar) Setlist: 1. Stutter 2.

He is also one of the architects behind the Music Economy Development Initiative (MEDI), a global partnership that has launched the first ever platform to map the music economies of all 55 African countries.In this episode, Shain explains why Africa's music industry represents one of the continent's most overlooked economic opportunities. Despite African music reaching audiences around the world through genres such as Afrobeats and Amapiano, Africa captures only a tiny share of the music royalties, copyright revenues, and wider economic value its creators generate. Drawing on landmark research from the Music Economy Development Initiative, he explains why nearly 286 million US dollars in recorded music revenue remains uncollected in Nigeria and Kenya alone, and how stronger copyright systems, improved intellectual property protections, better rights management, and greater investment could unlock billions of dollars for African creators and the wider economy.We discuss why governments should begin treating music as economic infrastructure rather than simply culture, how better data can transform policymaking and attract investment, the role of development finance institutions in strengthening Africa's creative industries, and why countries such as Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire are emerging as important case studies for music ecosystem development.What We Discuss With ShainWhy Africa dominates global music culture but captures so little of its economic value.The hidden copyright, royalty, and policy infrastructure every successful music industry needs.Why nearly 286 million US dollars in music revenue goes uncollected in Nigeria and Kenya.Can Africa's music industry become one of the continent's next major economic growth sectors?How better policy, investment, and copyright systems could transform Africa's creative economy.Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss Investing $100 Million to Create Africa's Next Million Jobs: Why Manufacturing Beats Tech?

From Cameroon to the United States, Junior Ngufor's journey is one of faith, perseverance, and purpose. In this inspiring episode of Vigilantes Radio Live, Ngufor shares the heartfelt story behind his uplifting single, “Black Girl Magic,” explaining how it was born from a desire to celebrate the beauty of Black women in a world that too often criticizes them. He opens up about finding acceptance after relocating to America, how his church upbringing shaped both his character and his music, and why songwriting has always been his greatest emotional outlet. The conversation explores identity, immigration, confidence, culture, and the power of using music to encourage rather than divide.

Ghana, un país de África Occidental con más de 34 millones de habitantes, destaca por su riqueza histórica, cultural y política. Cuna del poderoso Imperio Ashanti y hogar de más de 80 lenguas, conserva un legado único reflejado en símbolos como los Adinkra y el sagrado Trono de Oro. Su costa, conocida como la Costa de Oro, fue uno de los principales escenarios del comercio transatlántico de personas esclavizadas, cuyos castillos de Elmina y Cape Coast hoy son lugares de memoria histórica. En 1957, bajo el liderazgo de Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana se convirtió en el primer país del África subsahariana en independizarse del dominio británico, impulsando el panafricanismo. Actualmente, su vibrante capital, Accra, es un centro cultural y diplomático, mientras que el país sigue dejando huella en el mundo con géneros musicales como el Highlife y el Afrobeats, además de su pasión por el fútbol representada por las Black Stars.

Stop 3 on our summer world tour takes us to the continent of Africa — specifically to Nigeria, the most populous country on the continent, home to more than 500 distinct ethnic groups, hundreds of languages, and one of the richest and most diverse musical traditions in the world. In this episode, we explore the deep roots of Nigerian folk music — from the ancient kingdoms of the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa peoples to the extraordinary talking drum that literally speaks a language, to the interlocking rhythms of the ogene bells that influenced jazz, blues, and gospel music in America. We also talk honestly about how the transatlantic slave trade carried Nigerian musical DNA across the ocean, and how those rhythms survived, took root, and grew into something new without ever losing their essential character. And we connect it all to the contemporary Nigerian music that is shaping global sound right now. Nigeria's music is not a museum piece. It is alive, evolving, and more influential than most people realize. What We Cover in This Episode Nigeria's geography, history, and extraordinary cultural diversity Ancient Nigerian civilizations: the Nok, the Yoruba kingdoms, the Benin Kingdom, the Hausa city-states, and the Igbo communities How the transatlantic slave trade carried Nigerian musical traditions to Puerto Rico, Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, and the American South — and how those traditions survived The dundun (talking drum) — how an hourglass-shaped drum can reproduce the tones of a spoken language The Yoruba musical tradition, the Ifá spiritual tradition, and the role of specific drum rhythms in ceremony and community life Jùjú music — how the Yoruba folk tradition evolved into a modern genre, with King Sunny Ade as a key figure Igbo folk music — the ọjà flute and the ogene iron bells, with their interlocking rhythmic patterns How West African interlocking rhythms became the foundation of jazz, blues, and gospel music in America Afrobeats and how contemporary Nigerian artists are carrying folk traditions into global popular music today Free Downloads for This Episode
