This is an episode that touches on recent music. I discuss why Nigerian and Tanzanian music have gained so much popularity in the western world and beyond in the recent year. I also look at some characteristics of the popularized music in depth to dissect why the music is gaining popularity. I also trace back long-standing musical sounds such as Cuban rumba in both Tanzania and Kenya. In doing so I look at some Kenyan artists who have curated a sound that can transcend borders. 
On the second part of this music segment I briefly look at Summer Walker's recent album, Still over it and last but not least, I close this podcast episode with a music plug as I focus an artist who is gaining so much traction and is a force to reckon with. 
Happy Holidays and I hope you enjoy this episode.
Nina.
