S2 E41: Is African creativity becoming one dimensional?


Listen Later

Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!

This week, I got a chance to have a conversation with the amazing singer and song-writer Mumbi Kasumba to talk all things African creativity and if  it is becoming one-dimensional? When someone says, African music, we forget to realize that there are 54 nations with a VARIETY of genres, including neo-soul and indie sounds....We discussed if all sounds can be acknowledged and glorified!  We discussed:

-Is the African Culture accepting of Afro-Indie/New soul music?

-Working the 9-5 while being creative: a HUMBLING experience 

-How to make your creativity a daily practice and devoting time to it like a proper expense

-Where are the AFRICAN LOVE SONGS? (Stay tuned for the playlist)

-Preserving your mental health against Social Media
