Africa Now

To mark South Africa’s Women’s Day on 9 August, Africa Now salutes Mzansi’s most exciting women in music—the voices, songwriters and producers behind the continent’s biggest hits. This week’s cover features R&B singer-songwriter Elaine, soul and amapiano singer Nanette and Afropop star Nomfundo Moh. Hear from them and more superstars on Africa Now, the playlist that brings together the sounds of the continent, from hip-hop, highlife, Afrobeats and alté to house, Afrobongo and kuduro—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
