Contemporary African Music is not getting the credit it deserves (lemmy.world)

I am on a binge, listening to tons of Nigerian, Ugandan and Kenian music, and I am absolutely loving it. Why is this not playing on our (Western European) radio stations regularly?

Instead I have to regularly change stations because someone is trying to torture my ears with Ed Sheeran or similar BS. :(

If you're based in the UK with nothing planned the weekend of the 23rd of June:... https://africaoye.com/

Unfortunately not in the UK, and hesitant about entering post-Brexit :/ Although anything close to Snowdonia is tempting ;) Definitely appreciate the tip!

I'm in the process of moving away for other reasons, but brexit had nearly no effect on visiting/entering the UK, so no need to worry about that.

They were never in schengen, so there were always border controls. Most of their border controls are automated, so it's super smooth.

It's wayyyyy easier than (for instance) entering the US (even as an American!)
