In The Mix

Mariah

The host Mariah and guests will be discussing their favorite African music and musicians, what’s happening on the continent and the history and traditions that have brought the culture to where it is today. Lately, African music has been generalized as Afrobeats as it hits the world stage. We want to take the time to further dissect and show that it is impossible to limit African music to one indistinguishable genre.
