Welcome to the first in the series, where I will take you to explore Africa's unbelievable talent which I call the Troubadours of Africa. The world of jazz has always been a vibrant tapestry woven with diverse threads from various musical traditions. One of the most enriching and captivating influences has been African music.

Jazz Matters’ latest series, “The Troubadours of Africa,” celebrates the extraordinary contributions of African artists to the global jazz scene. In Part 1 of this series, with my playlist, I delve into the profound impact and rich legacy of some of Africa's most iconic musicians, whose works have resonated worldwide.

Enjoy the music I love.
