Rolling afropop 2024

Pretty good afropop lineup at Roskilde this year. Last year was a breakthrough with Rema and an already legendary Burna Boy concert at the largest stage, so it was bound to be a bit of a letdown, but Tyla (if she makes it), Tems, Omah Lay, Amaarae and Sho Madjozi (!!!!!!!) is pretty good. Throw Mdou Moctar and some Nyege Nyege related electronics into the mix, and I'm satisfied.

TikTok’s influence on African music, including genres like Afrobeats and amapiano, has propelled artists such as Ghana’s Black Sherif, Nigeria’s CKay and South Africa’s Tyler ICU to global success through viral hits.
