Hip-hop stylez have totally infected African and Caribbean scenes, from Ragga to Dancehall to Bongo Flava to Rai to the townships to Haiti

It's an unmistakable romantic smooth sound that comes from Guadeloupe and Martinique, with Kaysha, Jocelynne Labylle, Kassav' and others

The music of Jamaica has been reborn and brilliantly re-crafted by African artists like Daddy Lumba, Lucky Dube, Tiken Jah Fakoly, and Alpha Blondy

Direct from Dakar, the hottest Senegal vibes, with Youssou N'Dour, Baaba Maal, Ismael Lo and more

The best mix of Ethiopian music ever made, with Aster Aweke, Gigi, Teddy Afro and more

The divas of the Arab world, from Morocco ...to Algeria ...to Egypt ...to Lebanon ...and beyond

Check out the scene in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi for the hottest new sounds, with Lady Jay Dee, Chameleon, Necessary Noize and more

The sounds coming out of Lagos today are a hot blend of reggae, ragga, Hip-Hop, highlife, and R+B

Smooth-as-silk tracks I like to play in early morning hours at the club, with Zouk, Cabo Love, Rai and Konpa

This is my love poem to all the beautiful women musicians of Africa
